YEARLINGS CONQUERED BY EXETER SEVEN; SCORE 4-2

Occasional brilliant individual work and hard fighting in the last two periods failed to save the 1924 hockey team from a 4 to 2 defeat by Exeter last Saturday. The game was marred by soft ice and by unnecessarily rough defense methods employed by the Exeter team. After two scores by Exeter, R. S. Phillips, by a brilliant dash in the second period for over half the length of the rink, caged the puck for the first goal, while early in the third period Nelson Cabot tallied after his team-mates had carried the puck within scoring distance. A few minutes later, however, Everett Martin, Exeter captain and star player, shooting thirty feet from the goal, scored twice in quick succession, the game ending a few minutes later.

For the Crimson, J. J. Lee and R. S. Phillips showed up well in the forward line, while on the defense S. C. Graves and W. E. Crosby, the latter star end on the Freshman football team, distinguished themselves, carrying the puck down the ice time and again only to be stopped by the timely defense work of Cautillon, the Exeter goal. For Exeter, Captain Martin at left center, who shot all four of Exeter's goals, and Cantillon, the goal, who turned away the Crimson shots very successfully, were the stars of the afternoon.

Early in the third period the Exeter captain took a pass from Robb, the right wing, and scored. The yearlings came back with a rush and evened the score, only to have Martin cage the puck twice in short order, winning the game.
