The varsity stickmen blew a 4-0 lead, but then roared back to score eight consecutive goals within the next 15 minutes to chalk-up a 15-9 win over Williams Saturday at Cambridge.
Scoring honors went to Bruce Regan and Phil Zuckerman. Regan netted 5 goals, while the sophomore attackman accounted for three assists and three goals. Cle Landolt, John Ince, and Bobby Johnson chipped in two goals each, and Jim Kilkowski had three assists.
After twelve minutes of play, the Crimson had built a 4-0 advantage with Zuckerman collecting most of the points. But four different Williams men tallied goals within a nine-minute span to knot the score.
First Goal
Midway through the second period, Kilkowski picked up the rebound of a shot by Regan and fed it back to Regan, who threw in a high shot from about 10 feet out for his first goal of the day. Harvard kept up the pressure and built an 11-4 lead before Crimson coach Bruce Munro started clearing the bench.
At one point in the third period, which Harvard dominated more than any other period, the Crimson had the ball around the Williams cage for a full four minutes without losing it. Several shots bounced off the pipe, and Munro termed it "a really wonderful exhibition of power." The first midfield was in at the time.
After the reserves went in, the visitors narrowed the lead to 5 goals, 13-8, but Regan and Charlie Ames netted scores to seal the victory.
Not Too Strong
The Ephmen, now 0-6, are not too powerful, and Harvard was using the game mostly as preparation for next Saturday's game with league-leading Princeton. "We wanted to do more passing, and we did," Ince said. "We now have a little more confidence in our ability to score, too," he added.
Munro said. "I was somewhat disappointed. We did some things well, but we weren't as much in control as we should have been." The Crimson coach pointed out that lack of incentive against a weak opponent probably contributed a good deal to the less-than-inspiring Harvard performance.
