Two surprises were furnished in league hockey
last week. The first came when the Dartmouth
team went all to pieces and easily defeated by
Yale on Wednesday night and then suffered de-
feat at the hands of Columbia Thursday. The
second came when the Wanderer Hockey Club
made such a poor showing against the New York
Athletic Club seven in the Amateur Hockey League
series. The Wanderers are fast, but their defence
and shooting lamenably weak Their showing
against the Crescents week previous. when they
forced the former champions to play an extra
period Of four minutes to win, led many to believe
that they were really much stronger than now

fee themselves the old stars Wall, Dolby

fore it is too late, and strong pressure is being
brought TO bear them to again don the Cres-
cent uniform. But these men feel that they are
justified in holding TO decision made early last
winter get out of the game for good and ALL

Wall have been playing hockey for years. and tney
want to see younger men get in the game who IN
time will build up good team. Last year team
play was made subservient individual effort. and
this caused more less feeling among the players

DOLBY cannot be persuaded TO come out, is: Lang,
