The CRIMSON hockey team pulled the first leg of the Phillips-Barron-Batchelder cup yesterday afternoon when it literally swamped the Lampoon. The final score, as we remember it, was 14 to 0. Officially, it was 8 to 4. The Mt. Auburn street boys lived up to their reputation and were jokes during the entire playing period. Only at one time did they become dangerous and that was in the first few minutes of play, when the force of gravity overcame the cortical resistance of the CRIMSON coverpoint and he was taken for the puck and was knocked in his own goal. He is feeling fine now however, and when interviewed last evening wished to issue a statement which we haven't room to print.
Captain Baker was a true leader at all times and played his usual steady and, we are pleased to announce, rough game. The star of the game was a young man named Grinnell heretofore unheard of in hockey circles. He scored at random, and only hesitated once, that time to tie his shoe. For the Lampoon, Herter was the only man worth mentioning and his work at goal was a revelation to hockey fans. They all said they had never seen anything like it before and hoped they never would again.
President Smith Tallies.
The game was hard-fought throughout, but after the first two minutes of play there was no doubt as to the outcome. The only doubt was whether or not there would be an outcome. President Smith of this sheet won for himself the unique distinction of being the only president in history who has scored a goal on Lampy, and friends from all over Thayer Hall were congratulating him last evening. Ex-officio Brown was credited with two assists. The umpires, Mr. Wingate and Mr. Perkins were valuable assets to the CRIMSON team and we wish to thank them for adding so much to the score.
The teams lined-up as follows: CRIMSON, Captain Hobbling Baker, r.c., Grinnell, l.c.; McIntosh, l.w.; Smith, r.w.; Emerson, p.; Nesbit, p.; Cole, g.; Grandstand: Ingram; Bleachers: Foreman; Water-boy: Williams.
Lampoon: Sanger, r.c.; Kettell, l.c.; Sizer, l.w.; Hale, r.w.; Wentworth, c.p.; Thayer, P.; Herter, g.; Red Cross Aid: Connell.
Numerous substitutions were made but they were incidental to the final outcome.
