INDIANS INVADE PRINCETON
After their 9-7 victory over Princeton at Hanover had assured them at least a tie for first place in the final league standings, the Indians went to Jungletown with threats of sure revenge ringing in their ears, and completely dominated the Tigers until the last six minutes of play, when three goals in rapid succession almost wiped out the four-goal lead which Dartmouth held. Captain Jim McHugh was forced to make three saves in the final minute, and a desperate defense by all hands was necessary before the Green puckmen left the ice with the championship safely tucked away.
Dartmouth gained a two-goal lead in the first period on Bob Bennett's individual dash and Paul Guibord's tally on a pass from Spain, and two more goals were added early in the third session by Spain and Rollie Morton, both on brilliant individual plays. Princeton's tallies in the third period came at 14:07, 17:02, and 18:55, and everyone but the Tiger goalie was clustered around the Dartmouth net when the game ended. Dartmouth captured a series, two out of three games, from Princeton in 1930, but the sweep' this year was the first since 1927, when the Green sextet won 7-2 and 4-1.
After the Indians had returned to Hanover and received the plaudits of the College, they elected Frankie Spain of Waban, Mass., captain of next year's team. Spain will be eligible for only one semester next season, but this did not deter his teammates from honoring him for his brilliant work this year. The Green captain-elect was easily the outstanding player of the new league, and his record of assists for the season is the soundest tribute to his teamwork. Nine assists in league scoring and 27 for the season as a whole gave him almost as many points as the rest of the Green squad made together.
Hockey letters were awarded by the Athletic Council to Captain James H. McHugh '34, Melrose, Mass.; Charles B. Arthur '34, Walpole, Mass; Robert M. Ben- nett '34, Newtonville, Mass.; Donald W. Crowther '34, Providence, R. I.; Roald A. Morton '34, New Rochelle, N. Y.; Stanley E. Neill '34, Winchester, Mass.; Arthur E. Nissen '34, West Roxbury, Mass.; Wilbur L. Powers '34, Newton Highlands, Mass.; James H. Walter '34, Port Colborne, Ontario; Frank J. Spain '35, Waban, Mass.; Vincent G. Fitzpatrick '36, Walpole, Mass.; Paul L. Guibord '36, Melrose, Mass.; and George F. Riley '36, Clinton, N. Y.
The highly successful record of the hockey team was a personal triumph for Herb Gill, who coached his first college sextet this year. A tense figure throughout every major game, pounding the side of the players' box with a puck or his gloved hand, he manipulated Dartmouth's manpower with sound judgment and gave the Indian puckmen the basis for the best teamwork that has been seen in Hanover for years. Excellent material and good ice were in the favor of the former Choate School coach, and with nine senior lettermen graduating this June, next season's campaign to keep Dartmouth at the top of the Eastern intercollegiate hockey heap will be a much severer test.
