Hanover, N.H., Feb. 14--Under the able guidance of its new coach, Herb Gill, the Dartmouth hockey team has developed into a fast, hard-checking, and high-scoring sextet which is without doubt one of the best amateur clubs in the country. The team promises to remind Dartmouth hockey followers of the time when Myles Lane captained the aggregation which made Dartmouth hockey history back in 1927. The improvement comes at a particularly welcome time, for since those days hockey in Hanover has been definitely on the down grade.

The Green skaters have a record of nine games won and five lost, but three of the losses were to the strongest amateur clubs in the country, whereas the other two were from the sensational McGill team, which has decisively defeated all opposition on this side of the border, and from a strong Yale squad at New Haven. In these 14 games, the Varsity ice-forces have piled up the surprising total of 81 goals, while their opponents have registered only 40. This means that the Indian outfit has maintained an average of almost six goals during every game.

Worked Best Against Yale

Spain, flashy center-ice man, leads the team in scoring with ten goals and 21 assists, which proves conclusively what a fine playmaker he really is. On the other hand, Powers leads in actual goals scored with a total of 14, while Guibord and Morton are close behind with 13 and 12 respectively. Bob Bennett and Vin Fitzpatrick make up a defense which has been especially effective in recent games. The team reached its peak in the first Yale game at Hanover, which it won by a 3-1 score in what was the opening encounter for both teams in the Intercollegiate Quadrangular Hockey League. Since that time, it has been defeated by the Elis in a long overtime battle at New Haven; but it came back to defeat Harvard by 4-1 before a large Carnival crowd last Saturday. By virtue of this enviable showing, the sextet has become one of the leading contestants for the Hobey Baker Cup, and many of the Big Green followers really believe that this year's team will bring the championship back to Hanover, thus restoring the hockey supremacy which has been lacking at Dartmouth in recent years. --By TIME OUT.
