Give it back to the Indians" reads a sign in the hockey team's dressing room, and that is exactly what the Crimson aims to do when the two colleges meet in the Boston Skating Club Rink tonight at 8 o'clock. Such a hope must be considered optimistic, however, and most people will be surprised if the Big Green does not continue its unbeaten way.
Balm, in the form of a shattered Army six, will be on hand Monday at 3 o'clock, and Harvard should have little difficulty in repeating an earlier 5 to 2 victory over the hapless Cadets. Either of these contests conceivably could go the other way, but either would then rank as an upset.
Watch '44 Indian Line
What keeps Dartmouth going is one line, three Sophomores, Harrison, Rondeau, and Riley, to wit. Against Yale last weekend Rondeau scored five of the Indians' six goals, and Thursday this trio scored 10 of Dartmouth's 16 goals. If the Varsity can bottle these three by defensive tactic and strike when other Indian waves are on the ice, the impossible might be achieved.
After a preliminary informal game last December, which the Indians won the Big Green made it two straight in January when they chalked up a 5 to 3 win at Hanover. During the last period of this contest, however, the Varsity had Dartmouth on the ropes.
Old Man Injury has finally taken his toll of the Crimson forces. Johnny Paine, first line wing, has ben out for a week with a leg infection, but he is expected back in action tonight. His center, Gordy McGrath, suffered a charley horse against R. U., but he, too, apparently is ready.
The real of the team lines up as usual, but there is some doubt whether Earl Acker's or Albie Everia line will act as the second wave.
