SEVEN WORKS HARD FOR WIN

It was only after thirty seven minutes and forty seconds of overtime play that Saltonstall, substituted for Hopkins, drove the puck by Winants and won from Princeton by the score of 2 to 1 what was probably one of the most desperately fought hockey games ever played in the Arena. Clean and hard-fought throughout by both teams, this contest which lasted as long as two ordinary ones, belonged to either team until the very last play. So evenly were the sevens matched that it was really a toss-up which would win and with the innumerable critical scrimmages continually going on, first in front of one goal and then in front of the other, especially in the "sudden death" period when a score meant a win, the crowd was given an exhibition of the coolest and most brilliant goal tending. Carnochan's work was particularly commendable for time after time it was some part of his anatomy that warded off a Harvard defeat. Some men were perhaps a little more spectacular than others; but it was really the work of the team as a whole, carefully trained in Coach Winsor's style of play, and full of that win-or-die spirit, that enabled Harvard to defeat what was generally considered to be one of the best hockey teams in the country, a collection of veterans and one composed of stars of the first magnitude.

Baker Cleverly Watched.

Baker was allowed to get started down the ice, but was not allowed to finish; for each time he was guided towards the side boards and placed in such a position that he could not shoot. By boxing Baker and keeping in position so as to cover all the lanes of approach, the University forwards reduced to a minimum the effectiveness of the brilliant rushes of the opponents. Claflin and Willetts did noble work defensively; it was only a few times that they were passed, and then far off to one side where it made no difference. Kuhn, always dangerous in front of the goal, was very well covered as shown by the fact that he did not cage the puck once in the many scrimmages in that vicinity, his one tally being on a long shot from the side. The Princeton defense on its side was very effective, their hard body checking more than once spoiling chances to score. Of the Harvard forwards, Smart was the only one to play the entire game. His work was characteristically good, hard playing and keeping in position--the one thing that the Winsor style of play demands. Phillips and Hopkins, the center men, were both extremely valuable in their stopping of Baker and Kuhn, but they were unable to stand the pace of what seemed to be an everlasting game. The substitutes sent into the forward line, although they did not play remarkable hockey, did their best,--which was good enough to hold their own and finally win.

First Blood to Princeton.

The first score was made by Captain Kuhn after 16-minutes of play when he took a long shot from the left side of the rink that landed in the net, Carnoechan making his only mistake of the evening by coming out to block it. Less than a minute afterward, Phillips, Hopkins, and Smart dashed down the rink, Phillips in the center carrying the puck. A pass to either side was the natural play, so Emmons and Peacock covered the outer men, while Phillips went through the middle and tied the score. Just one hour of actual play later, Smart, going down the right side of the rink, cut in and shot at the goal. The puck hit Emmons' stick and bounced in front of Saltonstall who immediately banged it past Winants, thus ending the game.
