New York. March 14.-The brill
liant record of the Princeton hockey
team during the seaso Just completed
has led to an agitation for Che build
ing of an artificial ice rink at Prince
ton before next winter. The idea found
favor with both undergraduates and
alumni two a ago but beyond so

Princeton Alumni Weekly in discuss
ing the revived project states cditO-
rally:
You can't play hockey without ice.
and while Lake Carnegie usually
freezes over three or four times IT,
ing the winter tho ice ordinarily does
not remain 1ong enough to afford reg
ular practice. In this sport wc are
at an obvious disadvantage in the
competitions with u chief opponents
in the farther north ATTITUDES Of New
England. In the absence Of ice at
hockey players are obliged to go to
the rink In New York, but they can do
this only two OF three times a week,
and that at the latter end of the sea-
son. Under these circumstances It is
extremely difficult to develop players,
and particularly tcam-p1ay. There
are other serious objections to New
York as the scene of our participation
in this branch of sport. All the argyll
college grounds hold with peculiar
force in this game. Hockey is 100 well
established as an excellent college
game to be abandoned, but Il it is

have our own rink. Yale has a rink
in New Haven and Harvard has n in
Boston. With a rink at Princeton.

Harvard team non OF he eastern
college sevcns were able to check the
fast and clever individual and team
play Of the Tigers. In all thirteen
games were played. and Of these u
three were lost. Harvard won one of
the three contests scheduled and OF

Princeton, but only after exceedingly
close and extra period struggles. That

best evidence Of the calliber Of the
Princeton seven OF 191S-14.
The seasons. record including both
the intercollegiate and exhibition

In total goals scored the Orange and
Black team o than double the fig
m played Princeton netted "a
goals to her opponents %. This was
due in great part to the dashing play
and speed OF. Captain Kuhn and Hob
ey'' Baker. Not including the> final
game with Ottawa, each of these play
ers scored eighteen goals: more than
half Of the total record for the sea-
son. 1t is probable that the record
Of the Princeton seven of the present
season will not be duplicated FOR sev-
eral years at least. even should the
contemplated rink be built during the
coming summer. i.
In connection with the i%ntercolle-
giate hockey season which has lust
Terminated there is considerable dis
cugsion among the colleges most inter-
ested relative to reducing the numDer
Of players from sever to SIX. This
plan. which developed in Canada sew
oral years ago was brought about
by the necessary financial curtailment
i'm professional hockey circles where
big salaries were paid the Canadian
stars. 1t was also tried out this WIN
by the teams Of the Amateur
hockey League in New York during
the second half of the season with fair
success. Where Kinks are compare
