This evening at 8.15 o'clock at the Arena, the University sextet will face the fast and shifty Milwaukee Hockey Club. In this contest two entirely different types of hockey will meet. The Milwaukee skaters are a group of fast, versatile, individual players, of whom Smith is the star, but their ability to fit this speed into a system of team-work that will give the greatest possible effectiveness is somewhat in doubt. The University, on the other hand, relies, not on in the individual excellence of its stars, but upon the effectiveness of team-play and passing, and upon an exceptionally strong defense. When two such opposite teams meet, an excellent comparison of the strength of the two systems can be made.
The Crimson sextet will be seriously handicapped in tonight's contest by the absence of Larocque, whose illness will prevent him from playing for the rest of the season, and of Guild, his substitute at center, who is suffering from a severe cold. The loss of two letter-men, both from one position, is of course, a severe set-back to the University team, but the Crimson coaches are relying on the system of play and the individual strength of the substitutes to fill adequately the gap in the forward line, which must have its maximum strength to overcome the speed of the Middle-Westerners tonight.
