When Harvard's forward, Beals, received the puck from Captain Crosby in the fourth overtime period of the Princeton-hockey game last Monday, and smashed it into the net, he broke a 1 to 1 tie, won the Princeton series for the University, and put the Crimson sextet in a position where it can again aspire to the Big Three championship. It marked the athletic climax of the past week.
Hockey Team Comes From Behind
It was a furious contest. Coach Winsor made some radical, shifts in his line-up, and the result was a Crimson team functioning at its best, in marked contrast to the discouraging slump in the first Yale game. The Tigers drew first blood, but Austin tied the count in the third period. A 5 to 2 victory, largely by substitutes, over Hamilton on Wednesday showed the Crimson still in top form.
In other fields of sport, the week, on the whole, has been likewise successful. There have been squash and wrestling victories, and the track team performed creditably in winning second place in the annual triangular indoor meet with Cornell and Dartmouth.
Cornell Wins on Track
The Ithacans finished first with 49 1-15 points. In amassing 37 1-5 points, however, the Crimson gave some remarkable performances. In a thrilling battle J. N. Watters '26, bested Captain E. R. Kirby of the Red and White, intercollegiate mile champion. The Green trailed with 29 11-15 points.
Harvard's squash team invaded New York last Saturday and returned completely victorious, vanquishing the University Club five matches to nothing and the Racquet and Tennis Club by the same score.
Coach Lewis of the wrestling team appears to be developing the same type of matmen in Cambridge that made him famous at Pennsylvania State. The University has downed both Norwich and M. I. T. by large margins in the last week, while the Freshmen have been likewise successful.
Baseball Work Begins Monday
Machine work in crew is now in full swing and Coach Stevens has named three tentative University eights. He has also called out the coxswains. Another major sport will get under way in earnest with a meeting of 1924 baseball candidates on Monday.
Outside the athletic world, the inauguration of the drive for the Senior Class Fund of $150,000 has been one of the few important events of the week. This fund, which will be the class's twenty-fifth reunion gift to the University, is being subscribed for the first time in the form of endowment insurance. The drive closes today.
The 1927 class elections have been postponed until February 26, and some changes have been made in the list of nominees. The name of Nathaniel Hamlen of Boston has been shifted from the list of vice-presidential nominess to that of the presidential, changing places with C. D. Coady of West Newton. There are two new nominess by petition for secretary-treasurer, C. G. T. Lundell of Dorchester, and F. P. Houck of Buffalo.
The Hasty Pudding Club is now engaged in rehearsals for its 1924 play of unknown name, while the Cercle Francais is also preparing a play, Moliere's "Le Tartuffe" to be given on March 12. A squad of nine speakers is working for the triangular debates with Yale and Princeton on March '91, and 79 candidates for board positions on the CRIMSON appeared at the opening of new competitions in all departments on Tuesday
