CRIMSON SEXTET DEFEATS TORONTO BY SCORE OF 9 TO 0

Staging a scoring spurt at the start of the second period that netted four goals in four minutes Harvard's hockey team completely put the University of Toronto sextet to rout at the Garden last night winning by a score of 9 to 0.

The Crimson already owned a 4 to 1 victory over its Canadian rival and it was generally expected that the visitors would put up a close battle this time but Harvard clearly outplayed its opponent and demonstrated more decisively than ever that Coach Stubbs has gathered together one of his best teams this year.

Harvard scored once in the opening period, five times in the second canto and then added three more for good measure toward the end of the final stanza. Accurate passing and perfect teamwork were responsible for the Harvard scores. The Crimson was on the offensive all the time and skated all around the somewhat weak defense put up by the visitors. All the Toronto forwards could do in the line of an attack was to fire long shots which Ellis and Bartol easily deflected.

The game was about three minutes old before either team had a real chance at a goal and then it was Batchelder who was given the first opportunity. He drew Ames out of the net and seemingly had a straight shot ahead but he aimed wide. After five minutes of milling about the second Harvard line of Baldwin. Wood, and Saltonstall went in and although they pressed the issue continually they produced no score.

The first Crimson line was back in again when Dewar drew the first penalty of the game at about half time in, the period but Harvard could not capitalize and score. It was not long though before Garrison broke through and drew first blood. While Dewar wan playing around with the puck preparatory to taking it down the ice the Harvard center stole up on him, took the dine away from him and skated down the ice, sending the puck past Ames before the Toronto goalie had realized what had happened. The period was 14 minutes and ten seconds old when Garrison scored.

The rest period either made Toronto lethargic or inspired the Harvard forces to do great things because the Crimson went on a scoring spree the like of which has not been seen in a Harvard game for some time. Inside of exactly four minutes and eight seconds Harvard had tallied four times, surprising the whole Toronto team, Ames in particular, and the spectators alike.

Garrison scored the first goal after just a minute had elapsed when he bounced a shot off of Stewart's stick that rolled by Ames for a tally. In less than another minute Garrison and Cunningham teamed up and, after drawing the entire visiting team to one side, Garrison got off a perfect pass to Cunningham and the latter slammed it past Ames for a sure point. The play had worked with such perfection that just a half minute later Cunningham and Batchelder tried it again. This time Cunningham did the passing and Batchelder sent the puck past Ames with a great calmness. After this score the Harvard forces allowed a minute and a half to pass before they tallied again and this time Batchelder outsped the entiro Canadian outfit, sneaked around the cage and slipped the puck in while the bewildered Ames looked on.

Harvard had scored in these four minutes with a regularity that was becoming monotonous and made it seem as though the team were just staging an afternoon practice session. Not all the scoring was done while the first line was in the game since the second trio had been substituted just before Batchelder's second tally.

Bariol replaced Captain Ellis at goal for Harvard at the start of the final period. There was no barrage of goals as at the start of the previous chapter put there was a good bit more of exciting hockey. The crowd livened up, too, and showered its cheers and jeers on Dewar, for what particular reason nobody knew.

But finally, it seems, the Crimson thought that a little scoring was necessary and in the last four minutes of the game added three more goals to the already large total.
