HANOVERIANS MEET DEFEAT

Living up to its record of former years, Harvard showed its superiority over Dartmouth in hockey at the Arena Saturday evening by defeating the New Hampshire seven by the score of 2 to 1. The game was won by team-work in which our opponents were easily outclassed, their style of play being that of individual dashes down the rink which were stopped by the Harvard outer defence. The feature of the evening was the work of the two goal tenders. Carnochan, especially, proved most valuable and spectacular, jumping from one side of the net to the other, coming out and saving the day in the numerous scrimmages in front of the goal and contributing several stops that were nothing short of miraculous. Continual drilling about keeping in the line brought out a rather bad feature in the play of the University forwards, in that the man with the puck would continually wait until everyone was ready--a delay that proved disasterous on several occasions. Dartmouth made no attempt at team play, giving the game a helter-skelter appearance. Their defence was good but it made the fatal mistake of getting in front of the goal tender when Hopkins made his goal in the second half. Wanamaker was easily the fastest and most consistent of the forwards, but he rarely got a good close shot at the goal, in fact the whole team tried shots that were too long, their best chances being on the scrimmages after rebounds. Hopkins and Smart were notable in the Harvard forward line for their general aggressiveness and Willetts on the defence.

On the whole the game was very close, both sides having numerous chances to win. From the Harvard standpoint it was very satisfactory to win but many faults were brought out which will have to be eradicated if there is to be a win from Princeton next Saturday. After a bad slump during and immediately after the Christmas training trip, the team has been gradually developing and improving and there is no doubt but that the fighting qualities that have enabled them to win the last two close games will stand them in good stead at the Arena next Saturday.
