Bulldogs Defeat Six, 5-1

NEW HAVEN, March 10--Yale's varsity hockey team outscrapped and outskated the Harvard sextet as it won, 5 to 1, tonight before a capacity crowd of 4000 at the New Haven Arena. With this victory the Bulldogs avenged their 4 to 0 loss to Harvard last Saturday, and finished up their season with a record of 15 wins, 2 losses, and one tie. Harvard's final season's record is 12 victories and 11 defeats.

Cooney Weiland's skaters didn't seem to have the punch that carried them through the first Yale encounter; and the Elis stunned by last week's loss which dumped them out of competition for the Eastern N.C.A.A. berth, played a much rougher and faster game. The Crimson reverted to its old style--after the first period it played mostly defensive hockey, hanging back at the blue line and almost never converting rebound shots.

In the first period the two teams played even hockey, with he Crimson taking 17 futile shots at Eli goalie Paul Cruikshank, who was spectacular in the nets all night. Yale only shot 11 times, but scored twice, on a screoned slap shot, and a pretty passout from just behind the Crimson net. The Bulldogs added two more in the second frame, one on a rink-length solo by Hal Howe, while Harvard took only four shots at the Yale goal.

In the last period Joe Kittredge slipped in a backhand shot (his forty-sixth point of the season) on assists from Busty Burke and Hal Marshall, for the Crimson's only score. Yale added an insurance goal with two minutes to go in the last period.

The summary:

First Period--goals: Shay (Y) (Brown), 11:17; Brown (Y) Shay, McNamara), 18:24.

Second Period--goals: Brown (Y) (McNamara), 3:57; Howe (Y) (unassisted), 5:54.
