DARTMOUTH WON FAST CONTEST

The University hockey team was defeated by Dartmouth by 4 goals to 2 in a fast and closely contested game at the Arena last evening. Throughout the game the playing was very evenly matched, but the visitors were more successful in taking advantage of their opportunities to score. Dartmouth's victory was due largely to the skillful playing of C. Wanamaker, who scored three of the four goals, and to the brilliant work of Donahue at goal who made many difficult stops. Owing perhaps to the speed of the game, team-work was for the most part poor.

Fast playing marked the opening of the game, in which the puck was frequently carried from one end of the rink to the other. Tyler, picking up the puck after Morgan had stopped Tuck, scored the first goal for Dartmouth by a quick shot, after only five minutes of play. After a succession of rushes Townsend scored for Harvard on a pass from the corner by Baldwin after 10 minutes and 14 seconds of play. The University team then rallied and succeded in keeping the puck in Dartmouth's territory until Wanamaker skated the length of the rink and shot a goal after cleverly dodging the Harvard defense. The play tended to be individual in the remainder of the half with no great advantage for either team. Wylde and Donahue both made several difficult stops. Time was called with the score standing: Dartmouth 2, Harvard 1.

Dartmouth forced the playing in the beginning of the second half. Starting from the middle of the rink, C. Wanamaker carried the puck along by fast skating and clever stick-work and scored the third goal for Dartmouth in 1 minute and 31 seconds. For a while Harvard rallied, but was unable to score owing to the excellence of Donahue's work at goal. Dartmouth succeeded in shifting the scene of the play from their own territory only to be stopped by the steady University defence. For a time the puck remained in the centre of the rink. Then three Dartmouth players succeeded in getting clear and came down on the University defence. Wanamaker passed it out to the wing, got by the defence, and picking up a return pass, shot Dartmouth's fourth goal. Substitutes then began to fill the places of the first string men and their freshness gave an advantage to the University. The puck was kept either in Dartmouth's territory or at least well out of the Harvard danger zone, through consistent playing by the forwards. With four minutes to play, Fisher received a pass from Doty, who was in the corner, and snapped it in for a goal.
