Crimson Sextet Overcomes Dartmouth, 6-4

The Crimson varsity hockey team's new-found depth more than offset Dartmouth's annual inspiration up at Hanover last Saturday. Playing with a reshuffled lineup, the varsity outfought and outlasted the Indians, 6 to 4, before 2,000-odd strictly partisan spectators.

The Green team obviously wanted badly to win this game, but the Crimson hopped to an early 3 to 1 lead, and matched Dartmouth's fight and hustle for the rest of the contest. The win was Harvard's second straight in the Pentagonal League. Both have come against the Indians.

Cleary Plays

Billy Cleary made his first appearance of the season, and showed that possibly his greatest help to the varsity will come from strengthening the third line. Cleary did score the first line's only goal on a solo in the third period, while third line center Frank Mahoney, bolstered by ex-first liners Jeb Bray and Ned Bliss, scored twice. Second line wing Scott Cooledge had two counters and Joe Crehore one.

Coolege opened the scoring at 4:29; then, after John Titus had evened the count five minutes later, the Crimson's lower lines added three scores within three minutes. Dartmouth, on another tally by Titus and one by Dan McCarthy, almost caught up again before the period ended. Mahoney increased the Crimson lead with his shot late in the second period.

Meauwhile, left wing Johnny Hamlen paced the freshman hockey team to a 4 to 1 victory over St. Paul's School in a rough, hard-fought contest at Concord.
