Harvard's hockey team reached a new peak Saturday at Hanover, N.H., by stunning favored Dartmouth, 7 to 3, in a fast, cleanly played game. Ten days prior, the Indians had robbed the Crimson of its Pentagonal League title hopes with an 8 to 5 win at the Arena.
Exploding with three goals in the space of 42 seconds, the visitors assumed a three-goal command in the middle of the first period and were never headed thereafter.
The game was highlighted by the acrobatic net-minding of Johnny Chase, who turned in his best job of the season. Chase racked up a total of 38 saves, against 20 for Dick McMahon.
Left wing Bill Timpson converted Shorty Minot's goal-mouth pass at 5:10 for the game's first score. After Arnie Oss, Crimson nemesis who scored five goals in the teams' first meeting, retaliated at 6:45, Harvard began to pepper Dartmouth goalie McMahon.
Lou Preston blasted a 30-footer past the dazed McMahon, followed quickly by breakaway goals by Bob DiBlasio and Joe Kittredge. In the second period, Captain Myles Huntington back-handed the Crimson's fifth goal and Doug Anderson scored in a scramble in front of the Dartmouth net.
Anderson batted in his second goal at the start of the third period, and the remaining minutes were played in slow, indecisive hockey.
Defensive titan for the winners was Dusty Burke, who played 44 minutes and handed out more than his usual share of body-checks. Bill Bliss, Jack Carman, and Jack Donelan also played creditably.
Goals--Timpson (Minot, Marshall), 5:10; Preston (unassisted), 13:48; DiBlasio (Kittredge), 14:10; Kittredge (unassisted), 14:30. Second Period, Huntington (Preston), 7:50; Anderson (Kittredge), 17:31. Third Period, Anderson (unassisted), 2:55.
