CRIMSON SEXTET BATTLES TORONTO TO SCORELESS TIE

In an overtime contest, brilliant and drab in spots, the Crimson six fought the fast-skating blue-clad sextet from Toronto University to a scoreless tie on the Boston Garden ice last night. The Harvard hockey forces, though outplayed for the most part, succeeded in halting many of the fierce rushes of their New Year's eve conquerors by timely poke-checking, while the steady work of O. P. Jackson '29 kept the Crimson cage inviolate.

The initial stanza was listless to the extreme, brightened only by occasional solo assaults by Paul, fleet Canadian defense player, and Jackson's defense of the goal. A few minutes before the period ended, Captain John Tudor '39 and M. N. Stanley '30 swept down the ice, narrowly missing sharp angle shots.

In the second period, Marshall cleverly stick-handled his way to the mouth of the net, slipping the puck past the Crimson goalie a fraction of a second after Referee Stewart's whistle had blown for a penalty. With two Harvard players in the penalty box, the Toronto skaters launched a fierce but fruitless attack on the University fort, narrowly missing several potential tallies. In the closing minute of the period, S. L. Batchelder '31 twice weaved his way the length of the arena for shots at the Canadian cage.

Rough checking by both teams marked the third period play as the Crimson carried the attack to the Toronto goal. Time and again the Harvard offensive broke on the stalwart opposing defensive pair. What seemed to be a certain Crimson scoring chance was blasted when Captain Whitehead hurled his stick across the ice to knock the puck away from Tudor.

Honors were evenly divided in the ten-minute overtime period, but the close covering and rugged checking of both combinations made scoring practically impossible.
