Three last-period goals brought the Crimson hockey Varsity from behind to defeat a visiting Princeton squad by a score of 7 to 5 at the Boston Arena Friday night, as Coach John Chase's charges racked up their second victory of the current campaign, their first active season since 1942.

The Tigers drew first blood when their Bill Finkenstaedt, playing right wing whipped the puck unassisted past goalie John Knowles at 1:45 in the first period. Then Bob Feloney, the Crimson center who has just returned from war service and who played on the Freshman squad before the war, tied it up with an unassisted goal at 2:33.

Three to One

Three more Harvard goals and one more Princeton counter made the score 4 to 2 at the end of the first period. The Tigers roared back in the second period, however, to tie it up 4 to 4 at the end of the stanza, and then went on to a 5 to 4 lead as a result of Finkenstaedt's second goal as the third period got under way.

A goal by Pete Eaton, another '42 veteran, tied it up at 2:06, however, and two more scores by George Minot and captain Bill Ayres provided the margin of victory. The last scores came with only 16 seconds remaining in the game. Ayres and Minot were high scorers for the Crimson, with two tallies apiece.

More difficult opposition than the Tigers, who have only just resumed hockey after three years of inactivity and who have no indoor rink on which to practice, will be provided on Saturday evening by Yale, when the Crimson treks down to New Haven. The Elis have had formal hockey all through the war, and are rated along with Dartmouth as one of the top teams in the East.
