Yale, out to avenge the 3-1 defeat at Hanover, opened the scoring early when Mills netted a rebound at 1:39. Riley evened matters with a shot from the blue line at 9:03, but a minute later Spain and Fitzpatrick were sent to the penalty box, and made the most of Dartmouth's shorthandedness by chalking up two goals at 11:23 and 12:47.
The period ended with the Blue leading 3-1, but Crowther netted a pass from Paul uibord at 14:12 in the second period to narrow Yale's margin, and when scoring or the evening seemed about over, Rollie Morton tied the count at 17:20 in the last Period. Dartmouth was on the defensive uring the first overtime period, with Morton ar,d Fitzpatrick in the box, and seven minutes after the second extra session be gan, Colby slipped through the Green defense and put the winning goal past McHugh.
Dartmouth returned to the victory column in its first game against Harvard, and before a large Carnival audience in Baker rink completely dominated the Crimson to win, 4 to 1. It was the first hockey triumph over Harvard since 1929.
After a scoreless first period, during which the two teams surged back and forth on fairly even terms, Guibord and Spain teamed up for one of their spectacular goals at 1:38 in the second session, and the Green was on its way. Spain scooted down the left side of the rink, wheeled through the Crimson defense, and passed to Guibord, who whistled the puck past Paul deGive without the slightest waste motion. Several minutes later George Riley contributed an unassisted goal at 6:09, and the period ended with Dartmouth two goals to the good.
Thirty-five seconds after the third session had started, Dartmouth tallied another goal through the connivance of Spain and Powers, the latter taking the pass from Spain, who seized the opportunity when Harvard's defense failed to clear the puck. Throughout this period and the last Coach Gill had his whole team carrying the fight into Harvard territory, and the pressure told on the visitors.
Hafey Arthur netted the Indians' final goal unassisted at 18:50, and with but fourteen seconds left to play, Harvard was saved from a shutout by Calloway's unexpected tally. Aside from this last-minute shot, Captain Jim McHugh had very little to worry about in the Dartmouth nets, for Bennett and Fitzpatrick were impregnable at the defense posts and the Crimson puckmen were unable to get in for close shots. Paul deGive, in the Harvard goal, was harrassed in the last two periods, and a number of brilliant stops kept the Green total down.
