HOCKEY
Though hampered by lack of opportunity for practice the Dartmouth hockey team won a fast 2 to 1 game from the strong St. Nicholas Club, of New York, at the Boston Arena, January 19. Dartmouth opened the scoring in the second period when Captain Hall skated around the outer defense after a dash down the ice, and, outguessing Holmes, at goal for the St. Nicholas Club, netted the puck when Holmes moved out from the cage to stop the tally. Buntin, a former Harvard star, retaliated for the St. Nicholas team, taking a long pass from Cushman and shooting it into the cage from between the Dartmouth defense men. Dartmouth's second goal was scored by Sheehy just before the second period ended, receiving a long pass from Hall and scoring from a position directly in front of the cage.
At the start of a trip immediately following the mid-year examinations, the hockey team met with a 2 to 0 setback at New Haven. Dartmouth showed better team play and more accurate shooting than the Yale players but was kept in check by Jenkins, of Yale. Hall, of Dartmouth, featured the game by frequent long dashes down the ice.
Still playing at New Haven, February 5, Dartmouth was defeated by the New Haven hockey club by a score of 5 to 3. The New Haven Club, at that time in a tie for second place in the New England Hockey Association, proved considerably stronger than the Dartmouth team, but Hall and Everett, of Dartmouth, by fast and aggressive play kept the Hanover team well up in the contest at all times. With New Haven leading 3 to 0 Everett scored twice in the second period. He added the final Dartmouth tally in the third period.
The Winter Carnival attendance at the rink on Memorial Field saw Dartmouth defeat M. I. T. by a score of 12 to 1 in a game in which the Hanover team met little opposition. The winter weather which set in at Hanover just the week before the Carnival had given the Green team its first real opportunities for practice and a great improvement in play was noticeable. For Dartmouth Hall scored three goals, Lyon two, Manser two, Sheehy two, and Everett, Perry and Mills one each. McPherson scored the only goal for M. I. T.
Continued good weather for practice evidently brought the Dartmouth team to a high point of skill by February 13 when, on the Memorial Field rink, the hockey team of Springfield Y. M. C. A. College was defeated by a score of 18 to 0. The Sprnigfield team was a much weaker team than that of Dartmouth and was unable to cope with the fast playing of Hall, Everett, Sheehy and the remaining members of the Green team. Captain Hall led the Dartmouth scoring with five goals, Everett and Lyon scored three each, Manser, Perry, and Sheehy two each, and PerLee one.
The Dartmouth hockey team continued its powerful scoring attack by an overwhelming 11-2 victory over Massachusetts Agricultural College, in Hanover, February 16. The contest was one postponed from January 12. The Memorial Field rink was in perfect condition after a week of zero weather and the game was one of the fastest seen in Hanover in a long time. Dartmouth scored early when Sheehy netted the puck after a fast scrimmage before the cage and added a second tally a moment later. Late in the period Everett and Manser added further goals. Lamb, for M.A.C.,. scored his team's first goal from a scrimmage which drew Learnard away from the Dartmouth cage, and in the last minutes of play Moberg scored again for the visiting team. The Dartmouth points were distributed as follows: Sheehy five, Lyon two, Everett two, Manser and Perry each one.
