Work on Hockey Rink Begun.

Work was begun yesterday on the rink which is to be constructed on Holmes Field, almost directly behind Hastings Hall. The rink will be 130 feet long by 80 feet in width and flooded to a depth of from 12 to 15 inches. It is expected that the embankment will be completed by Monday and the rink will be flooded immediately after completion if the weather is cold enough for freezing. In order to keep the ice in as satisfactory condition as possible, only members of the hockey squad will be allowed thereon.

The practice of the squad for the past three days has been in the cage in the basement of the Gymnasium, since there has been no good ice in the vicinity of Cambridge. It has consisted entirely of long distance shooting and practice for the goal guards.
