The loss of Captain Paisley, who graduated at the close of the first semester, has left a big gap to be filled in the varsity hockey team. C. O. Gale '20, first-string goal-tend for three seasons, has been elected to lead the septet and is proving himself capable both as captain and coach, but Paisley's departure took away the strong point in the green offense. Perry, formerly center when a sevenman team was used, now alternates with Rothschild in Paisley's old place at rover. The rest of the lineup remains practically the same, with Ross and Cody on the wings, Dorney at cover-point, Threshie and Fiske fighting it out for point, and Captain Gale at goal.
Dartmouth 3, Tufts 0.
The varsity seven repeated its initial victory of the season by letting down Tufts, 3-0, in the first outside game of the year, played at the Cambridge Pavilion January 23. Paisley at center, well supported by Perry and Ross on the wings, led a brilliant attack which proved too much even for Herculson, the Tufts star at goal. The game was fast and hard-fought throughout, although Dartmouth showed the effects of the transfer from outdoor to indoor rink and tired after the first half.
Harvard 4, Dartmouth 2.
Suffering more from stage-fright than from actual inferiority, Dartmouth was forced to bow to Harvard at the Pavilion rink January 24. As an exhibition of collegiate hockey, the game was a disappointment, for both teams resorted to rough-and-tumble tactics which more than once threatened to break up the contest. The work of the Green team was ragged, showing little semblance of team play, although Threshie, who scored both the Dartmouth points, and Captain Paisley starred individually.
Dartmouth 1, M. A. C. 0.
A single goal, scored in the second overtime period, was the margin of the Green victory over Massachusetts "Aggies" in a game played at Hanover February 11. The work of the rival goal-tends, Delahunt and Gale, stood out as the one bright spot in an otherwise mediocre exhibition of hockey. The ice was in poor condition and the few dashes down the ice by both teams met with invincible opposition at the net. As the result of a scrimmage in front of the Aggie's goal, Threshie finally scored for Dartmouth after seven minutes of overtime play.
Dartmouth Club 4, Dartmouth 2.
The Dartmouth Club of Boston, represented by a fast alumni aggregation, left the varsity on the short end of a 4-2 score in the Carnival contest February 14. Although Dona- hue and Tuck, stars of the graduate team, were unable to play, the lineup included Proctor, Murphy, Currier, Murchie, Holden, and Bower '21, a transfer from Middlebury who is ineligible to represent Dartmouth this winter. Last year's captain and coach, Johnny Murphy, gave Captain Paisley a hard battle for individual honors, and the graduate seven was far in the lead on the defense and 'in perfection of team play.
St Paul's 4, Dartmouth 0.
Playing without Paisley for the first time this season, the Green septet showed a perceptibly weakened attack against the St. Paul's School undefeated seven and went down to a 4-0 defeat at Concord February 17. Gale's work at goal was nothing short of sensational, but Dartmouth had no well coordinated offense to counterbalance the schoolboys' perfected team play.
