Even Break on Vacation Trip

Of the four practice games engaged in during the Christmas vacation, Coach Denisha's sextet won two and dropped two. The team gathered in Boston on December 26 and worked out at the Arena daily besides journeying to Melrose frequently for scrimmage sessions with the Melrose High School team. On December 27, several alumni forsook their business cares and formed a team which was defeated 6-2 on Melrose Pond. Among those present were former coach Leon Tuck, Ted Learnard, Dave and Bill Perry, Stan Lyon and Frank Sheehy. Learnard treated a crowd of several hundred to his usual masterly exhibition in the net but Everett, Manser and Dwyer proved him not invincible.

The Green team did not appear to such advantage, however, when it faced Toronto in the Arena on New Year's eve. The fast Canadians discovered Dartmouth's weakness in the net, where three goal tends were used during the evening, and gained a brilliant 7-1 victory. Duplin prevented a shutout.

The next game found Denisha's men opposed to another Maple Leaf team but McGill did not secure the 2-1 verdict until the closing minutes of the fray. Fryberger scored Dartmouth's point and starred for the losers. Both goal tends turned in good pieces of work. Anthony was in the Green net during the entire game and made several brilliant stops. Cameron, the McGill goalie, was the net guardian on the world's champion Canadian Olympic team and the fact that he was able to give such an exhibition of skill testifies to the strength of the Dartmouth offense. The game was played as part of a double-header before a record crowd which also saw Harvard overcome Toronto.

The last game of the trip was against the Brae Burn Hockey Club at West Newton on January 3. The club team included Willard Rice of the American Olympic team and George Owen and Ted Crosby, two former Harvard captains. In spite of this formidable array, the Green prevailed 1-0. The game was marred by the poor condition of the ice.
