fight against Harysrd's superior seven last
night at the st. Nicholas Rink. and only
lost ont in the last seven minutes of play
by 3 goals 10 o. Not tally was made in
the first half, and three-quart $ Of the
second period had passed before the Cam
bridge boys found the cage. and then IN
three ,,,;nutes they scored three times.
The better team won. but only after
roost desperate struggle. for the Blue
played a mastery defensive game and kept
the Crimson out until near the close. when
Johnson was ruled off for tripping. and
with one man TO the good Harvard
strained every nerve to tally and sue
ceeded, and following this advantage M.
skated the deInoralized Yale team off its
feet
WiIijams's great work between the posts
saved his team from much worse druo-
bing for he stopped shot after shot that
looked dangerous. He was well supported
BY Suenson and johnson, and the line fell
back cIeverly to help out the defensive
The Blue played the man instead OF the
puck throughout the whole game, and the
teams body checking showed the effect of
Ton, HoUard's able coaching; but the
z-i5us1 7-orl finally told, and they gslloped
away with the game in the last few min
utes. It was only the Traditional Yale

SO long and blocked Harvard's every move
in the first half.
The first period was rather tame the
Crimson seeming TO be demoralized by it's
opnonent's strong and effective defensive
tactics and neither goal was in much dan
ger But Harvard changed her tactics III
the second period and played pretty COM
btnation, which was the only kind Of Work
that could prove effective with such
strong defence to pass. Hicks. Morgan
Hornblower, Gardiner and Huntington
played cleverly for the Crimson. while
Martin and Williams were the stars FOR
Yale Heron was seen TO more advantage
than in any of his previous games, but h9
is not the Heron of last year Johnson was
effective at blocking, but could not carry
the puck.
4 large crowd turned out TO see the
struggle but the rink was not packed as
in former years, when these two seyen5
faced each other. This was due 70 the
championship having been already safely
landed by Princeton. The game vas not
particularly rough. although there was

for which a number of men were pefla1zed-

doubled. and Williams was called upon to
