HARMON SHOOTS TWO GOALS

In one Of the most protracted hockey
games ever played in this city Yale defeat
ed Cornell goals to / at the St. Nicholas
Skating Rink last night. The game was in
the intercollegiate League championship
series and the Yale team was making its
first appearance. Cornell. winner OF the
tile last year. is now in a bad way, being
charged with three defeats and no vic-
tories.
Last nights contest was unusual for the
reason that the opposing sides were COM
PEELED TO play an extra period, which lasted
trfe more than twenty-five minutes.
Team work appeared only In spots. and II
vas also noticeable that the colleg1ans paid
more attention to checking each other than
they did in keeping their eye on the puck.

wears "Y" as result OF prowess on the
baseball diamond, put up great game at
the net Clyde Martin, the speedy left
wing, also got into most of the plays.

speed skater

liant work. and II II had not been for his
rare blocking and clearing the Blues total

nelrs big rover, could always be counted
upon TO advance the puck when he got II
in his possession. while Smith, at cover
point for the same team, also worked like
Trojan.

into the net for the ithaca seven, but the
goal was not allowed because OF offside
