HARVARD-YALE ICE SUPREMACY WILL REMAIN UNDECIDED

That the Harvard-Yale hockey series will remain a tie and that there will be no fourth game was definitely made known yesterday at the H.A.A. offices when W.J. Bingham '16, Director of Athletics, announced that after conferences with Yale officials it was decided to terminate the series.

The statement came after a day and a half of telephoning and telegraphing, following Wednesday night's game that ended in a tie and caused the series to be deadlocked. It was at first thought that a fourth game would be probable and that only the place of the game needed to be decided. Developments since then, however, have proved that although Yale was willing to continue the series Harvard frowned on the additional game for various reasons.

Bingham's Statement

The statement given out by Bingham yesterday follows in full:

"The hockey series with Yale unfortunately ended in a tie. Harvard won the first game 3-2 in an extra period, Yale the second by a score of 3-1; the playoff game ran into three extra periods but ended with the score still 2-2. While appreciating Yale's sportsmanlike willingness to continue the series into a fourth game, the Harvard Athletic Committee has reluctantly determined not to prolong its hockey season."

This is the first series in the history of Harvard-Yale hockey that has ended without either team having the upper hand. Since 1900, when the Crimson and Blue first opposed each other on the ice, Harvard has captured the title 22 times while Yale has been returned victor on only seven occasions. Wednesday's game was also the first single contest out of all the 59 played that ended in a deadlock.
