Coach Rocque of the Yale hockey team is having a far better chance to show his ability this year with the material at his command at New Haven than he had in his two former positions at Dartmouth and with the B. A. A. team at the Arena.

As a nucleus for the lineup Coach Rocque has six veterans: Captain Murray, coverpoint; York, goal tender; Van Nostrand, centre; Jacob, point; Bierwirth, rover, and Armour, forward. The three veterans of the defensive make that department of the play unusually steady, but Armour at forward is the only experienced man on the forward line. It is the attack with which the new coach is having difficulty. Murray and York, who compose the secondary defence, are the present season's stars of the team.
