Sextet Smothers MIT, 16-8, for First Victory

Three goals by the second line in the first five minutes shattered organized MIT resistance and the varsity went on to punch out a casual 16 to 8 win Saturday night at the Arena. It was the first Crimson victory of the season,

Not even ten Tech Cheerleaders, a thousand partisan fans, and an MIT band were able to revitalize downriver crew after the initial shock of three quick scores.

For the first nine minutes, the Crimson looked like a fine college hockey team. The lines passed well, skated well, and took advantage of the numerous slip-tips by the Tech defense to rack up four goals, and almost hit for half a dozen more.

With a four goal lead the varsity offense slackened off, and for the rest of the night consisted mostly of sporadic rushes on the Tech cargo, which was often des tended only by the goalie. Most of the latter scores cames as a result of individual ability, a quality supplied admirably by the Key brothers, Myles Huntington, Dave Abbot, and Doug Anderson.

Improvement Shown

Despite the tremendous Crimson edge, both teams played better Saturday night than they had in their opening games last Wednesday. Checking on both sides was emphatic, and Crimson team play showed a marked improvement, especially in the first line. It should also be noted that only one of 16 Crimson scores was made by a defenseman.

Both Jack Carman and Huntington led the Crimson scoring parade with three goals apiece, and the latter also was credited with an assist. Donald Lea was high man for Tech with two scores.
