HOCKEY

Led by Bob Paisley, who fulfills the duties of both captain and coach, the varsity hockey team got away to a flying start in January, losing a close battle to the Dartmouth Club of Boston and registering an easy victory over Tufts. The opening contest, played in Boston against the alumni seven, went to the graduates by a 3-2 score. Ex-Captain and Coach Johnny Murphy netted the deciding tally of the game 18 seconds after the start of an overtime period. Tufts came to Hanover for the first home contest January 17 and failed to check the Green attack, even with the aid of a brisk snowstorm which slowed up the ice. The result was a 5-0 win for Dartmouth.

Captain Paisley, whose natural position is at rover, has proved himself easily the star of the Green's early season games. He and Ross, left wing, another former varsity performer, make up the strongest scoring combination for Dartmouth. When indoor regulations necessitate the playing of a six-man team, Paisley replaces Perry, a former Tufts regular, at center. The remainder of the lineup includes Cody right wing, Fiske cover point, Dorney point, and Gale goal. Sunergren, Rothschild, and Needs are offering hot competition for the regulars in the wing.
