OVERTIME SCORE DOWNS B.U. SEXTET

For three periods last night only the gilt edge goal guarding of Morrill enabled the Crimson to escape the fate that befell it last year when B. U. was the only American college sextet to outscore it. For three periods the Boston team had outplayed the Cambridge skaters in every position except the net, and the regulation time ended with the score deadlocked at 0 to 0.

The first half of the ten minute overtime period also failed to produce any score, and the teams changed sides for the final five minutes of the encounter. Scarcely 30 seconds later Howard was sent off the ice for clipping, and B.U. seemed to have gotten the deciding break. But in Harvard's darkest moment a bright star arose in the form of Scott who, checking Lawless near the Crimson cage, seized the puck, dashed up the right lane and eluding Gibson and Captain Viano, gained the mouth of the B. U. cage. His high shot which found the Terrier net less than an inch from the post, was the only one that got by Silverberg during the evening.

A minute later, with Howard still off the ice, Morrill kept the Crimson lead safe by brilliantly blocking a close shot from Viano's stick.

B. U. Threatens in First Period

For the first few minutes after the fall of the puck neither sextet could gain the upper hand. Presently Terrier scoring bids began to rattle off Morrill's stick and pads as Nelson, Gregory, Viano and Lawless made repeated sallies on the Crimson net. The Harvard guardian bore the brunt of this assault alone, and his great work in front of the cage staved off what appeared certain defeat for Coach Bigelow's men.

With a minute and a half left of the period, the Crimson six launched five desperate charges against the Terrier stronghold, and only sterling cagework by Silverberg saved the B. U. net from being pierced by a score.

At the opening of the second stanza, Chase broke through the opposing defense, but both his scoring bid and the rebound shot were stopped by Silverberg. Gibson was sent to the penalty box for crosschecking, and the Crimson launched a fierce assault on the weakened Terrier line. A lightning bit of passwork, Clark to Hamlen to Clark nearly netted a counter for Harvard, but Gregory, breaking up another passing game between Scott and Durant, carried the puck the entire length of the rink, but his hard shot caromed off Morrill's skate. Late in the period the Crimson skaters consistently pierced the defense line, and missed scores by inches.

The third period was the most evenly contested of the three regular stanzas. Tudor missed an early opening, and Calark also failed when he oversliated a rebound with an empty net in front of him.
