Skaters Tie Big Green, Spank Army in Gala Weekend

By only the slimmest of margins, Harvard's hockey team failed to enjoy its most propitious weekend in years in the three days just passed. The Crimson skaters ended Dartmouth's 32-game winning streak by holding the Indians to a 4 to 4 tio at the Arena Saturday night, and they saffered no letdown yesterday morning in plastering Army's Cadets 8 to 4 at the Skating Club.

All this gaiety is sort of frustrating, however. Only the miracle of an Army victory over the indians at Hanover can bring the Chasemen up to a tie for the Pentagonal League crown, all this provided the Crimson nips Yale's Bulldog in the two contests listed for the teams on the next two Saturday nights.

Cadets Resurge

Against Army yesterday, the Crimson hopped to a quick 2 to 0 lead on goals by Billy Harding and Mare Beebe before seven minutes were up. The Varsity played good hockey, but two slips in the short space of six seconds enabled the Cadets to pull up to a tie in the eighteenth minute, when Frenchy Cyr and Hall Beukema pulled a brother act on two rapid tallies.

The second period found the Albic Everts, Dick Harding, Johnny Burton triumverate at its best, however, and these three comined for two markers in little over a minute. Caleb Loring and Dick Mechem contributed cute solos later in the session to make it 6 to 2, and after Army tallied again on a quick rush, the Crimson matched the score with another Everts-Burton goal.

Dartmouth Game Hectic

The third period was dull; the Chasemen took it easy, and Dick Harding scored the seventh Harvard tally, with Army nabbing its final score later while Mechem took his medicine in the penalty box.

The Dartmouth fracas, much publicized in the local journals, was a little sloppier than its two furious predecessors, but made up in excitement what it lacked slightly in performance. Harvard fought back from behind on three occassions, and outplayed the visitors noticeably in the third period and during the overtime session.

Two Indians were incarcerated during this time, but the Crimson failed to cash in. Dick Mechem was probably the best skater on the ice, and Dick Rondeau paid a fitting Boston climax to a stellar collegiate career with two goals.
