M. I. T. I — Dartmouth 0

In one of the fastest and most fiercely contested ice battles of the season M. I. T. defeated Coach Tuck's hockey men, 1 to 0 on Alumni Oval, February 23.

In spite of a great deal of action and brilliant playing the first half ended, however, without a score.

During the second and third periods the Green appeared to be having the better of the argument, and only the fine work of Marsey at the net kept the Bostonians from defeat. Tech's score came from a long shot which bounced into the net off Neidlinger's chest. After this goal the Hanoverians struggled desperately to even accounts, with Bower, Foster, and Rothschild making brilliant dashes the length of the rink, but to no avail. These three men did spectacular work for the Green throughout' the game. The M. I. T. team was strong and well balanced, and a worthy victor, with Marsey at goal doing exceptional work.

Coach Tuck s men were unable to get through the strong defense of the St. Paul's team.
