HODDERMEN TIE 97 ICE CLUB, 2 to 2

A reorganized and vastly improved hockey team, taking advantage of the experience gained form a disastrous opening game, from a disastrous opening game, battled a heavily favored 19th Club sextet to a 2 to 2 draw Saturday evening. The Freshmen skated all over Ridge Tech to hand up an 11 to 1 victory for their first start.

Only Captain Pennies Willetts at left wing and Sherm Gray at defense were at their original positions. Stay Hulse moved back to team with Gray, and Gordle McGrath and Bill Claflin in the line and Bob Gayer at goal were all new to the first team. While lacking the fundamental skills of their opponents, the 1940 Amateur Champions, the Horsemen out scrapped their elders and almost upset them.

Defense, Passing Better

On the defensive Willetts' team looked much better. The Crimson wings covered their opposing wings and the defense men delivered enough body cheeks to keep Gayer out of trouble most of the time. A more efficient passing attack sharpened the team's offensive punch.

George Dane put the Crimson out in front when he circled the 97 cage and slipped the puck under goalte Bob Waldinger early in the first period. Gordon Smith later evened the count, but in the second Dick No one slapped a shot of George Duane's in for the second Harvard goal. Five minutes before the game's end Smith again evened the score. There was no overtime period.
