You cant play hockey without Ice,

remain long enough to afford regular
practice. In this sport we are at an

TO get their practice our hockey play

New York. but they can do this only
two or three times a week. and that

der these circumstances Il is extreme

serious objections to New York as the
scene Of our participation in this
branch OF sport. All the arguments
for playing college games on college
grounds hold with peculiar force IN
this game. Hockey is too well estab-
lished as an excellent college game
to be abandoned. but II It is to be con-
tinued at Princeton. we must have our

The record OF the Princeton seven
In winning the intercollegiate cham
Iionship under these adverse training
conditions was an exceedingly meri-
torious performance. Aside from the
Harvard team none Of the eastern col.
lege sevens we're able to check the
fast and clever individual and team
play of the Tigers. In all Is games
were played. and of these but three
were lost. Harvard won one OF the
three contests scheduled and Ottawa
College won both games against
Princeton. but only after exceedingly
close and extra period struggles. That
the Tigers should force the Canadian
.collegians to the limit to win is the
best evidence of the caliber Of the
Princeton seven OF 1914.

ate hockey season which has just ter
minated there is considerable discus
SIGN among the colleges most interest
ed relative to reducing the number of
players from seven to six. This plan.
which developed in Canada several
years ago. was brought about by the
necessary financial curtailment in pro-
fessional hockey circles where big sal
aries were paid the Canadian stars. It.
was also tried out this winter by the
teams Of the Amateur Hockey league
in New York during the second half
of the season with fair success. Where
Kinks are comparatively small six-nian
teams permit a faster game than when
Il players are on the Ice.
A poll taken among the leading col
lege seyens Of the east shows that
majority Of the captains are in favor
of the reduction in the number Of
players. Those who favor tho plan
include Captain Heron Of the Yale
seven; Captain r. NJ Kimball Of the
Amherst team; Captain N. D. Me-
