DARTMOUTH SEXTET EDGES VARSITY 2-1

Captain Austie Harding's beautiful score on a last period penalty shot averted a shut-out for Dartmouth at the Garden last night as the Indians edged out a very stubborn Crimson Varsity six by the score of 2 to 1.

The Hanover puckmen earned their victory beyond any doubt, but the game was far from the pushover that Big Green rooters hoped for. Although a faster and much more experienced team, the Dartmouth six had to fight every minute of the way to keep the Hoddermen at bay. The Indians scored one in the first period and one in the second, but only the brilliant work of goalie Wes Goding, the smooth checking of the Dartmouth defense and the occasional intercession of Lady Luck enabled them to keep the hard-fighting Crimson forces at bay.

Harding's penalty shot goal in 14.41 minutes of the third canto was easily the high-light of a wide-open, exciting game. The shot was called by referee Foley when Wes Goding, the Dartmouth goalie, picked up the puck during a scrimmage around the net and slipped it into his pads.

Instead of skating down the ice at full speed, the usual method on a penalty shot, Harding carried the puck down beyond the blue line slowly, came to a full stop for a moment, and then whipped the puck past Goding on a hard knee-high shot that just caught the corner of the net. From then on the puck was in Dartmouth territory most of the time, with the Hoddermen trying desperately to tie up the score.

Bud Foster, first line center, turned in the first tally for the Big Green unassisted in 5.55 of the opening canto when he eluded the Crimson defense, drew Freedley out of the net and slipped a high shot into the corner. The Indians second goal, in 4:54 of the second period, was made by Dan Sullivan.
