Season After a very good finish the year before, Columbia was looking forward to competing for the IHA championship. Shortly after the final cuts were announced and the lineup for the team was announce the team encountered a sizeable problem. The IHA had held a meeting regarding player eligibility (no freshman and only three years of eligibility in league games) to which Columbia could not immediately agree. The Columbia representative referred the matter to his faculty committee and the team would continue to play its IHA schedule in the interim. The operators of the St. Nicholas Rink, however, decided that since the matter had not been settled Columbia's place in the IHA was not stable enough to allow the team to practice at the rink.http://spectatorarchive.library.columbia.edu/?a=d&d=cs19121211-01.2.5&e=-------en-20--1--txt-txIN------- Volume LVI, Number 63 Columbia Daily Spectator December 11, 1912 March 3, 2020 January 19, 2025 https://web.archive.org/web/20250119071726/https://spectatorarchive.library.columbia.edu/?a=d&d=cs19121211-01.2.5&e=-------en-20--1--txt-txIN------- dead While Columbia choose to play games against the IHA opponents regardless of their place in the league, the Columbia athletic committee decided to uphold its own eligibility requirements (four years of eligibility) regardless of what the IHA rules were.http://spectatorarchive.library.columbia.edu/?a=d&d=cs19121214-01.2.5&e=-------en-20--1--txt-txIN------- Volume LVI, Number 66 Columbia Daily Spectator December 14, 1912 March 3, 2020 January 19, 2025 https://web.archive.org/web/20250119235140/https://spectatorarchive.library.columbia.edu/?a=d&d=cs19121214-01.2.5&e=-------en-20--1--txt-txIN------- dead After a resolution could not be reached, Columbia left the IHA in mid-December.http://spectatorarchive.library.columbia.edu/?a=d&d=cs19121217-01.2.7&e=-------en-20--1--txt-txIN------- Volume LVI, Number 68 Columbia Daily Spectator December 17, 1912 March 3, 2020 July 13, 2021 https://web.archive.org/web/20210713204746/http://spectatorarchive.library.columbia.edu/?a=d&d=cs19121217-01.2.7&e=-------en-20--1--txt-txIN------- dead Fortunately, despite resigning from the IHA, the St. Nicholas rink did become available for the team afterwards.
