Two former Crimson hockey stars returned to plague the Varsity ice squad Saturday night at the Arena as the St. Nicks, champion New York Amateurs, outplayed the Hoddermen by a close 3 to 2 score.

Fred Moseley, 1936 Harvard captain, and George Roberts, a star of last year's ice squad, were the boys who turned the trick on their Alma Mater by accounting for all of the Nicks' tallies. Moseley turned in two beautiful goals, both of them in the third period, and Roberts, playing his first game for the New Yorkers rang up the first St. Nicks score early in the second period.

For the Crimson Captain Austle Harding, who played his usual brilliant game, and Sherman Gray, who has seen little action up to now, were the scorers. Harding's goal came in the middle of the first period, when he took a pass from Joe Patrick around the visitors' defense and beat goalie Tom Stockhausen on a beautiful angle shot.

Gray Scores

Gray's goal was one for the books. With less than a minute of the last canto to go, he shot the puck into St. Nicks territory from beyond center ice, on what was presumably intended as a last minute power play. As it happened, however, Stockhausen failed to see the rubber until it was too late, and it slipped between his legs for the second Crimson tally.

The New Yorkers really deserved to win Saturday night's game. They were playing a very smart brand of hockey throughout, and they capitalized on every break in heads-up fashion, Hodder's charges, on the other hand, were somewhat off form.
