ST. NICHOLAS SEVEN
 DEFEATED YALE,
Hobey Baker Made Several Spectaeu- lar Dashes Through the Blue Team Score to 3.

Overcoming q lead of two goals which the Yale hockey team piled up in the fist few minutes of play, the St. Nicholas seven, reinforced by the sturdy Hobey Baker, took the large end of a 4-3 score at the Arena. Sat ur6ay night Hockey experts present "a ted it one of the toughest games seen on the ice at New Haven this season.
 Until the Very last second Of the game the winner was in doubt but the defeat of the FIT hockey players can be attributed to nothing less than the spectacular playing of Hobey Baker Although Baker personally did nos succeed fin burying the puck in the Yale goal his passing, his defensive play ing and the spectacular manner in which he would dash through the whole Yale team and accurately shoot at the Yale goal proved too much for the members of the Blue seven.
 But for the stellar work of Holccmb York, defender of the Yale goal, the New Workers would have departed from New Haven with a much larger score tied to their belts. York kicked away well directed shots time and time again, and frequently proved the stumbling block for the fashy ELobeY Ba ker after the latter had commanded the puck from behind his own goal and dodsed through the entire Yale defense.
