Just before the team was called to the first meeting, coach Bellerose met with representatives of the other Intercollegiate Ice Hockey Association of America members in New York City.
Several topics were discussed, chief among which was the addition of Pennsylvania to the league, bringing up the total membership to 10 (the other schools were Boston College, Columbia, Cornell, Dartmouth, Hamilton, Harvard, Princeton and Yale).
The final decision by the Association was to submit a proposal that in future Olympic years, the highest ranking college team be used as the American representative.

Williams had been treading water and was hampered by a lack of practice time while Amherst was entering after toppling Army and were looking for revenge after the early-season defeats.
Howe and Langmaid turned in stellar performances with each recording a goal and then holding off the Lord Jeffs in the later half of the game.
The final match with Amherst saw Williams' offense continue to struggle with Brigham getting the Ephs' only goal just 3 minutes into the game.
Early in the second, Howe, who was playing in his final game for Williams, tied the match and gave hope that the team would be able to get one over on the visiting Orange.
