conditions prevailing yesterday af-
ternoon. the speedy Notre Dame
hockey team met and defeated the
Badgers from Wisconsin by a SO
score. The rink was covered in
places by an inch Of water but the
ice was hard enough 10 support the
skaters. and that was all that was
needed. a large crowd Of spectators
assembled, despite the contrary ele-
ments, and remained until the very
end OF the game.
The playing was slow. but Il was
clear from the first that the Irish
were master of the situation. Wis
consin's passing game failed TO ma
themselves much better on defense
than on offense. OF course a true
estimation of their worth as hockey
players could not be obtained. Notre
Dame OutcIassed them throughout
the game. displaying the pinch
necessary to walloD the puck through
the slush and past the goalie on
three different occasions.
Versatile attack.
The Badgers seemed a bit bewild-
cred by the versatility Of the Notre
Dame attack They could not check
Cashiers zig gag dashes. while Mac
SOrley and Finn shot through their
defense time and time again. Percy
Wilcox played a strong game at left
defense for Notre Dame, until he
was incapacitated in a collision with
a Wisconsin player in the third
period. Macdonald took his place
and performed in sterling fashion
for the remainder of the game.
Shortly after one O'Clock, rumOrs
were spread about the campus that
the game had been called off, but II
