Playing its fastest hockey of the season, the Harvard sextet begins this afternoon to prepare for the two all-important contests looming up in the near future. The 6 to 2 victory registered over Yale Saturday night makes the Crimson a strong favorite in its games with Dartmouth here Wednesday and with Yale in New Haven Saturday.
Against the Blue the Harvard team maintained the pace it set in the encounter with the University Club. If Yale had started Warner, the game might have been closer for the first-period goals by Scott and Clark should never have reached the net. But by the same token, if Harvard had not utilized an all-substitute defense composed of Coady and Howard at the end of the second stanza, Knight's goal would probably have been averted.
The first-string Crimson defense was impregnable. The speedy Noble, who played the entire game and was the chief Yale threat, could not get around or between Ellison and Clark. Several times he almost got a clear shot at the net, but always at the last moment the drive was spoiled. Vaughan also played a fine game for Yale, and his neat passes to Frey took the puck past the outer defense three or four times. Morrill, however, blocked the work of this combination except once in the last period, when Vaughan came in fast and knocked in the rebound of Frey's shot.
Tudor was forced to leave the game in the final session by injury, but will be able to face Dartmouth. Clark, injured in the University Club game, was at the top of his form Saturday, and Captain Ellison's usual dazing tumbles did not cramp his style any.
First Line Superior
The work of the starting forward line tamped it as distinctly superior to the second-string trio, and also to any combination Yale had to offer. Zarakov's two goals were both gems; Scott's all-around play ranked him with Noble as the outstanding player on the ice; Tudor failed to score, but threatened often. The second line played true to form, failing to produce any goals, but checking the Yale attack well. When this trio was on the ice the game often slowed up and several minutes passed with little action.
New letter-winners on the Harvard squad included Tudor, the one Crimson Sophomore in the contest; Morrill, who played brilliantly, and Adams, who replaced him in the closing minutes; and Durant, who charged on to the ice, took a shot at the Yale net, gave an Eli attacker a terrific bump against the boards and went off the ice again. Stanley, a Sophomore, was the only man on the squad not to see action.
The one-sided score does not mean that Harvard will have an easy time next Saturday. Yale has a smooth working team with two flashy players, and on its home rink should give the Crimson plenty of trouble.
The summary: Score, Harvard 6, Yale 2. Goals, Scott 2, Zarakov 2, Clark 2, Knight, Vaughan. Referees, Synnott and Enwright. Time, 20 minute periods.
