In a battle of captains last night, Ellison, leader of the Crimson sextet, out-pointed Captain Hardy of the Dartmouth hockey squad, scoring three of the University's goals and contributing largely to the 4 to 2 defeat administered to the Hanover invaders. Hardy scored both of his team's tallies. Tudor contributed the fourth goal for the University.
The Crimson jumped into an early lead when Ellison counted twice in the early stages of the first period. Sherman, who started at goal for Dartmouth, allowed two easy shots to pass him. Dartmouth evened the count at the end of the second period, when Hardy duplicated Captain Ellison's feat, scoring two unassisted goals in quick succession. The second period saw both teams setting a furious pace and the University counted twice, putting the game on ice. The Dartmouth six tired perceptibly in the final period, and the University playing a defensive game had little trouble in preserving its lead.
Set Furious Pace
The opening of the first stanza set the fast pace that was to prevail during almost the entire game. Little team play figured in either of the opening scores, but neither poke was from midice, and they were both of the variety that look easy from the press box but which look hard from in front of the net. The Crimson sextet was by no means forcing the play at the time. Morrill being bombarded by a barrage of Green drives. Captain Hardy's stick was by far the most effective in the visitors' line-up and twice he found the puck in front of the Crimson goal with just time enough to tally.
The second period opened auspiciously for the Crimson when Zarakov just missed the cage with a vicious drive. Ellison missed a clear chance on the rebound, but it was only three minutes after play had begun in the second period when Tudor found a short pass from Scott from behind the net and slipped it past Sherman to put the Crimson in the lead. Dartmouth then started a drive to even the count and the Crimson defense at this point showed its mettle. At one time the entire Harvard team was prone on the ice in front of the cage as the Green forwards swarmed down in an effort to ram the puck past Morrill's invulnerable pads. With only half a minute to play Ellison made the best play of the game. The Crimson's captain took the puck on a sweep from behind his own cage, carried it alone down the ice, and scored with a beautiful drive from the boards which fooled Bott, who had replaced Sherman in the Green goal completely.
The second forward line, composed of Scott, center; Zarakov and Tudor wings, opened the game and spent more time on the ice than the first line of Chase, center, Gross and Hamlen wings, which relieved them throughout the game. Coady alternated with Ellison and Clark at the defense posts and Stanley occupied a relief position on both forward lines. Play was clean and fact throughout the game, with heavy body checking in spots. Harvard drew three penalties while Dartmouth had six men on the ice at all times.
