HOCKEY

Hanover's 1922 hockey season opened Jan. 8 with a 2 to 0 victory over Amherst on the Memorial Field rink. The contest was a typical early season affair, neither team exhibiting skillful teamwork. During the second period, after a rather ragged beginning the Green team swung into the lead when Osborne slipped the puck past Plimpton from a few yards in front of the cage. The final period brought the second tally, Smith scoring a second after a collision had left the Amherst cage temporarily open. For Dartmouth, Hall and Foster were the outstanding figures, while Wooster and Davidson, veterans of last year's Amherst team starred for the Massachusetts aggregation.

Dartmouth 3—M. A. C. 1

Dartmouth kept the season's hockey slate clean by defeating Massachusetts Agricultural College 3 to 1 January 14, in a slow game on the Amherst rink. Soft ice checked the offensive work of both teams although the Green forwards succeeded in keeping the puck in Massachusetts' territory throughout the greater part of the second and third periods. M.A.C. broke into the scoring column first when after five minutes of play Collins jammed a well placed shot past Tobin. Osborne soon evened the count for Dartmouth. Sheehy and Hall scored for Dartmouth in the latter periods which were all in favor of the Hanover team, the Agricultural students obtaining opportunities for only five shots at the net, all of which Tobin handled easily.

Andover 3—Freshmen 0

The 1925 team skated into its season under a handicap, dropping the first engagement to Andover by a score of 3 to o. Sanford and Cutler, of Andover were the scorers, the former finding the Dartmouth net on two occasions. Sayles, of Andover also performed brilliantly.

Harvard 1925 4—Freshmen 0

Following the defeat by Andover Coach Gaw's neophytes journeyed to Cambridge where the Harvard first year men also took them into camp, concerted teamwork and accurate passing resulting in four goals for the Cantabrigians while the Hanover boys were unable to find the net. Austin, who scored three of Harvard's goals was the main figure of this contest. For Dartmouth captain Per-Lee and Garrod showed flashes of brilliant hockey, but were unable to penetrate the Harvard defense. The puck was in Dartmouth territory throughout most of the game.
