waterville, Feb. 25-Owing to the
unwillingness Of Captain Miguel of the
Bowdoin hockey team to play one five
minute overtime period this afternoon
on the Colby rink, the Blue and Gray
had to be contented with a IL tie
score. The Bowdoin team was "razzed"
for the action in leaving the ice.
The game was anything but hockey
and could be more easily called a com
edy on skates and otherwise. The
north end of the Colby rink was like
snow and the players of both teams
could not stand up long enough to
shoot the puck home into the north
goal. There were several mixups at
the entrance to this goal as both teams
would practically pile up in an effort
to either score or prevent a score. Once
it looked as though Millett had scored
at this end of the rink but the puck
was stopped by Berry before it had
gone far enough.
The Bowdoin score was the greatest
piece of luck of the game. The Bruins
wick lads were shooting towards the
north goal and had the puck half way
up the ice when Cutter made hard
shot at Fagerstrom. The Colby goalic
stopped it with his skate but in try
ing to kick it out of the way he
knocked it in. The score was made in
the last three minutes of the game and
for moment it looked as though Bow
doin would carry away the honors and
leave Colby in the cellar. but McGoWan
showed a. wonderful comeback and aft
or talking the puck away from PTebic
took II through the entire Black ana
White team and shot it past Gerry
with ease The spectators went wild
with the pretty exhibition of hockey
and Colby went out for the game with
a minute and a half to play. The puck
was carried TO the rear OF the Bowdoih
net with good chance OF CODY
score when time was called.
Captain Vale requested an extra
five minute period with BoWdoln
taking the north goal two and nan
minutes and then Colby doing the
same to make matters even.
The first two periods of the game
were scoreless with both parties max
ing some hard stops. The condition
of the ice did not tend to make the
game very fast and good-natured ri
valry existed among the players when
tripped on thrown to the ice. In the
second period, Fagerstrom made a
nice stop of Cutters drive. the puck
lodging in his skate. Rushing around
to the real of the goal he extratcd 1t
where there would be no danger. IN
the first period, Bowdoin came near
scoring after the Colby goalie had
stopped Il drive and IN trying to drive
il out of the way fell. Muir sprung
to the defense of the goal until IA
gerstrom regained his feet.
FOR Bowdoin, Gutter and Widen
played well, while Vale and McGowan
starred for Colby with Muir playing
