Hockey

Reversing the procedure of the basketball team, the Green hockey team enjoyed a highly successful Christmas trip, winning four of five games, but has dropped both of the Quadrangular League contests played since then. Coach Herb Gill's promising club lost to Yale at New Haven, 7 to 3, and was nosed out by Harvard, 3 to 2, at Boston. On its home rink the Green sextet will probably prove a real obstacle to these two league opponents and to Princeton.

During its Christmas jaunt, the Dartmouth hockey team defeated Boston College, 3 to 0, Northeastern, 7 to 0, Colgate, 9 to 3, and Williams, 5 to 2, before running smack into McGill, which had things its own way in winning, 12 to 2.

The first game after vacation saw Dartmouth trounce M. I. T., 7 to 1, in the Davis Rink. It was a dull contest, however, with the individual brilliance of Captain Paul Guibord and Junie Allen making up for slipshod team play. The Indian leader personally accounted for five goals and one assist, while Allen scored once and contributed three assists. The Green defense was never hard pressed, but Bob Faegre, sophomore goalie, had a chance to show his real ability in his first full game of the season. Dartmouth gained a 3-1 lead in the first period, after M. I. T. had opened the scoring, added two more goals in the second period, and ended its scoring with a pair of shots by Wanstall and Guibord.

LOSE IN FIRST LEAGUE GAME

Journeying to New Haven for the inauguration of its league campaign, the Green six had a bad second period, allowing the Elis to count four times, and finished on the short end of a 7-3 score. Dartmouth scored once in each period, with Jack Costello tallying two of the goals and "Red" Riley making the other. The Indians took the lead in a little less than three minutes when Costello netted a rebound. Yale came back at 11:59, however, on a goal by Badger, and the score remained deadlocked for the remainder of the opening session. Badger again counted 47 seconds after the second period began, but Riley produced an unassisted goal at 1:03 to even matters once more. Three Yale goals upset the balance, however, and the Indians were trailing 5-2 as they began their second rest period. Dartmouth got back one of these goals when Costello scored on a pass from Guibord at s:oa, but Fitzpatrick drew a major penalty of eight minutes for improper language, and while he was in the box, Yale added two more goals.

The Green line-up for this first league encounter included Guibord and Costello, wings; Allen, center; Fitzpatrick and Otis, defense; and Faegre, goal. Mather, Lewis, and Riley made up the second line, with Butler and Bennett as the spare defense men. Bill Cash relieved Faegre at goal, and the third line, which saw some action, included Wanstall, Devlin and Barrett.

Back in Hanover, the Dartmouth six met St. Anselms in preparation for the Harvard game, and won easily, 12 to 3. Only the stellar work of McCloud, the visiting goalie, kept the Green total from reaching the twenties. Scoring was about evenly divided, with Barrett caging three goals, Guibord and Lewis two each, and Costello, Fitzpatrick Mather, Devlin and Wanstall one each.

In the Harvard game three nights later, the Indian puckmen put up a much stronger fight than they were expected to, losing to the highly favored Crimson six, 3 to 2. Captain Paul Guibord did all the Dartmouth scoring unassisted, netting the first goal 36 seconds after the game had started and the other one 20 seconds from the end of the contest. Between these two shots, the Green attack kept surging forward, and only sensational play on the part of Ash Emerson, the Crimson goalie, held Guibord and his mates at bay. Play was rugged and close throughout, and Dartmouth's performance, on the whole, was the most encouraging of the season.

After Guibord had given the Indians their early lead, Roberts netted a long shot from beyond the blue line at 4:02, and 57 seconds later the same Roberts passed to Meechem for the goal that sent Harvard into the lead. Neither team scored in the second period, which brought out some fine defensive hockey, and the third period was scoreless until the final minute, when Mosely and Brown teamed up for the third Harvard goal at 19:07 and Guibord made his solo dash at 19:40.
