Yale's Six Sets Back Crimson With Third Period Surge, 5-1

The Varsity hockey team held off a highly rated Yale sextet for two periods in one of the fastest games of the Crimson season, at New Haven Saturday night, only to succumb to a 3 to 1 defeat before an onrush of last canto KB attacks.

Capturing its first Quad League championship since 1535, the Bulldog delivered to the Crimson a tragic, touch not unexpected, climbs to a disappointing season in which Captain Coleman's aggregation entered every major encounter as underdog and still played a consistently hard game.

Fast Tilt

With both sides working at top pitch, Saturday's tilt showed far superior stickwork than the game at the Boston Garden a week before. After the contest, Clark Hodder said that his team played its best game of the year, but was simply unable to counter the Eli attacks.

Holder's lack of material showed up sharply during both Eli tilts when the Crimson met a first Bulldog line of Paul Gillespie, Dave Rodd, and Bill Barnes, who have teamed together against the Crimson for the last three years.

During the first two cantos it was either team's game with the Elis tallying twice in the first period, and Skip Ervin making the lone Crimson score in the second. The turning point came at the first of the last period when Captain Fred Burr's shot from behind the penalty line broke the Crimson spirit.

From then on the Crimson played a forcing game with five men up at the Eli nets batting shots at Bud Kieckhefer, only to let Yale make two successful final jumps.

Winslow Assists in Tallying

Harvard's score came in the middle of the second period when Warren Winslow circled behind the Eli nets and passed out to Ervin who banged the rubber home around Kieckhefer who had fallen in front of the goal Warren Winslow, Dave Eaton, and Bon Cox, who put on one of his finest displays, made repeated efforts to tally again in the period, but to no avail.

Withstanding a withering Eli fire in the first and last periods, Goalie AbFenn maintained a record of difficult saves marred only by Fred Burr's shot in the third canto which the netminder badly misjudged. Fenn had good support from his blue line operatives, particularly from Captain Bill Coleman who played one of his best games.
