To Meet Princeton Hockey
Seven Here Tomorrow.

Yale men are much disappointed
over the defeat OF the Blue hockey
team by Princeton in the second game

the Tigers here in the first game Of

victory in the second game. The tie
play off will be played here .to-mor-
row night, and Tom Howard expects
Yale to win.
Princeton. however. has much i'm
proved team. as was shown in the
game in New Haven Wednesday night.
Consequently, tomorrow nights game

here. Unless Yale wins, the Blues
hopes for a championship will be prac-
tically ruined.
As preliminary contest 70 the
Ysle-Princeton struggle, the st. Nicks,
Amateur Hockey League champions,
will meet Queens University Of Can
ada. in an international contest. The
Queens team holds the intercollegiate
championship OF Canada and has not

sble exception of the Toronto Victo-
rias. the Queens team is said 10 be the
fastest amateur combination in East
ern Canada.
The ST, Nicks have already beaten
three Canadian teams and hope to
score over the Queens team. The Ca
nsdisns believe they will break the
winning streak Of the Amateur League
champions. This game will begin at
8 o'clock, the Yale Princeton game
starting Immediately after the ST.
