HOCKEY

Dartmouth's varsity hockey team spent a strenuous practice period at Lake Placid during the Christmas recess, and won five games before returning to Hanover. The Columbia team which was also at Lake Placid opposed Coach Tuck's men in three encounters, each of which the Green team won, the scores being 2 to 1, 8 to 3, and 7 to 0.

During the recess also two games were played with the Nichols Hockey Club team, of Buffalo, the first game being won handily by the Dartmouth men by a score of 5 to 3. The second encounter with the Nichols team was close and spectacular, Dartmouth winning by the one point advantage of a 3 to 2 score when Calder caged the puck in the last minute of play.

Dartmouth 6 — Hamilton 2

At Clinton, N. Y., Jan. 12, the Dartmouth hockey team defeated Hamilton in a fast encounter. For Hamilton this was the first home defeat at hockey in three seasons, and constituted a glowing testimonial to the effectiveness of the present Dartmouth ice team. Sheehy, Calder and Neidlinger were the outstanding figures of the Dartmouth play, the latter making many sensational stops before the net, while Sheehy and Calder figured prominently in the scoring.

Dartmouth 4—Cornell 2

Two overtime periods were required to enable the Dartmouth hockey team to defeat Cornell by a score of 4 to 2 at Ithaca, Jan. 13, before a crowd of 2000 people. Sheehy opened the scoring for Dartmouth in the first minutes of play, carrying the puck down the ice and making the goal unassisted. Cornell evened the count in the second period when Nesbit shot the puck into the net from scrimmage. Dartmouth tallied again in the opening of the third period, Foster making the goal, but again the Cornell team evened the score when Tome caged the puck on a difficult shot from the side. It was in the final period that the Dartmouth superiority was displayed, Captain Osbourne and Sheehy caging the deciding points. Neidlinger at goal for Dartmouth, made many brilliant stops.
