SMELLING HERO OF NIGHT
Substitute for Bacon Plays

ny GEORGE =. UNDERWOOD.


That Providence is on tho side of the
strongest reserves, as some great mill
tary genius has stated. amply was proved
in the Brooklyn ice Palace last night
when in their first Ice duel since war
called temporary halt on sport activi-
ties, Harvard defeated Princeton at
hockey. to 2.
On account OF scholastic difficulties
Francis Bacon. the Crimson's crack left
wing, was not able to play port nank.
Henry Smelling was sent in to plug up
the gap and the substitute proved the
hero of the evening. Smelling bagged
three OF Harvard's seven goals and had
a hand in the scoring OF others. He mixed
nice defence work with his rushing Of
fensive.
Harvard's Teamwork Fine.
Smelling teamed we'll with Edward
Bigelow. tho rover. There was a reason,
for the two formerly were on the for
ward line together on the st. Marks
seven. The whole forward line of Har-
ward worked we'll together. in fact.
though the narrow rink spoiled much
OF the prettinass Of play that should
have been shown by 30 well drilled and
| schooled a seven as Harvard's.
The victory left Harvard with q clean
slate. Though Princeton was forced to
bend the knee the Tiger was not dis
graced and put up plucky struggle
against superior odds. Harvard had
vastly the superior seven and the score
would have been much larger except for
| the valiant work of the Princeton de-
| fence.
The Tiger attack was weak and unfin-
ished. None of the forwards showed in
dividual brilliancy and teamwork
was almost entirely missing. All Of the
Tiger forwards were lone side" shoot
| ers and Holmes had little trouble Tending
the Princeton drives.
Broke Up Tiger Rushes.
Most of Princeton's rushes wtre broken
up before the forward got in position to
| shoot. Walker and Church stopped many
| other shots before the puck got withir
, reach Of Holmes.
Princeton's first score-the goal was
bagged in less than ono minute after
/ the skirnlishing lines first were thrown
| out-was a fluke. In the first place.
| Knox, who poked the puck toward the
net, was offside when he made his at
| side play, however. 1t was simply a
poke and Holmes ordinarily would have
| had no trouble Tending It. In attempt
| ing to thrust the puck away from the
| cage Holmes miscued. however. and
dragged It into the net
Princeton's second and last goal was
clean one. but was fathered only by
some old fashioned shiny. 1t was
scored by wintersteen from hot scrm-
4 In,
| Tho teamwork lacking in Princeton
play was the outstanding Harvard feaf
ture. Tho forwards invariably came
| down the ice in a pretty passing at
! tack that at times completely bewildered
! the Princeton defence. AS previously
mentioned. the score would have been
larger except for the narrow rink.
Following the fiuke goal Princeton
scored in the first minute OF play, the
Tigers forced the attack for several min
| utes. Harvard gradually warmed, up
the score in :52. when Smelling bagged
bird on short pass from Bigelow.
Less than three minutes later Smelling,
| Bigelow and Avery came down the lee
In a pretty rush, passing the puck among
them. Smelling passed to Avery, who
in turn gave TO Bigelow. Eddie was in
good position to shoot and smashed
{
| Princeton then held strong for Ave
minutes, the Tigers standing up under a
not Harvard bomberdment Finally in
| 10 10 Bigelow registered on a pass from
Avery. Princeton rallied and carried
/ tho war into Harvard territory. From
a hot scrimmage in front OF the cage
Wintersteen tailed for Princeton In
1895. The half closed with the score
Harvard, 3: Princeton, 2.
| The Crimson outclassed> the Orange
and Black in the last half. bagging four
! goals to Princeton's none. Blgelow on
short rush scored in 6 :53. On pretty
cross side dash and angle shot Smelling
| registered In S go. Less than a minute
later Smelling took pass from Avery
and. though slipping as he shot, sue
ceeded in driving the disk through Tay-
| Tor. Harvard's final goal was scored by
Avery on an angle shot in II :oS. The
