Harvard fans will be arguing for some time whether a jinx or a couple of unfortunate decisions by the officials gave the Big Green hockey team a questionable 5 to 4 victory after a hectic 10-minute overtime in the Boston Arena Saturday night.

In what was the opening tilt for the Quadrangular League Championship, the Crimson played its best game of the season, while Dartmouth's badly over worked first line put on an amazing exhibition of endurance and fast play.

Winslow Shot Disallowed

Center Warren Winslow almost stole the game for the Crimson in the last five minutes of the third period, when, with the score tied 4 to 4, he broke through the attacking Indians to fire a shot which to many seemed to cross the red line and pass through the net.

Although the goal judge flashed his light, Referee Herb Gallagher disallowed the score after a five minute argument in which no one could find a hole in the net through which the puck could have passed.

Sullivan Tallies in Overtime

In the overtime, Captain Danny Sullivan won the tilt for Dartmouth when he jumped the Crimson defense and unassisted smacked a carom off Vint Freedley's stick towards the net. The puck just crossed the red line, if at all, before Freedley swiped it aside. Freedley's protests that the puck never entered the cage were ignored, and the winning score was tallied for Dartmouth.

Playing their hardest during the entire game, both sides put an a thrilling spectacle for the 3200 fans in the stands. The Crimson passing attack had vastly improved since the McGill debacle. Twice during the middle period Dave Eaton's second line executed a perfectly set-up play, permitting Stacy Hulse to dent the net.

Besides Hulse, Winslow displayed the Hodder aggregation's most outstanding stick work, accounting for Harvard's first tally and assisting Forbes Perkins to tie the score at the end of the second period.
