Middlesex School hockey team routed Boston English High School 3 to 0 on their North Concord rink. Captain William Austin scored all three goals, including a standout length of the ice tally in the second period. Referee Raymond and umpires Moore and Nast officiated, with three 15 minute periods.

Lumberjack Mat Giant, a Pacific Northwest product, known for his powerful natural wrestling style, meets Earl Caddock in one of three finish matches on the all-star programme at Mechanics’ Building this Friday night.
Pooch Donovan, after a 24 month struggle, resigned yesterday as coach of the Harvard track team. He will remain in Cambridge as trainer for football and baseball, a role in which he has few equals since 1906 when first signed by the Crimson.
Bill Bingham, captain of the Harvard track team in 1916 and newly named supervisor of track athletics, has assumed control of all track work on Soldiers Field with aid from Coach Eddie Farrell who trains the event specialists. The Crimson faced a coach shortage in 199, leading to Pooch Donovan taking on duties and guiding Harvard to the intercollegiate championships in his first year. Since then Harvard’s track performance declined, with Cornell and Pennsylvania capturing the championship honors.

Ottawa men will face a different positioning tonight as Harvard sticks to seven man hockey. Canadian officials prefer a six man game, but Harvard will proceed with a seven or more man setup, making tonight’s matchup uncertain.
