TORONTO SEXTET DOWNS CRIMSON 7-5 IN EXTRA PERIODS

Canadian Right Wing Stars--Owen, Larocque, Walker and Crosby Tally for Crimson

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Although three 15-minute periods of exceptionally hard play found the University hockey team deadlocked with the University of Toronto skaters at 3 to 3, last night at the Arena, the Crimson sextet went down to defeat by a score of 7 to 5. No less than six goals were scored in the two five-minute overtime periods, two by Coach Claflin's men, and four by their opponents. Yet the large number of goals was due rather to the irresistible brand of forward-line play exhibited by each team than to any defensive weakness. Time and again the forwards threatened, only to be halted by the superb defence which both teams showed.

In the opening period, both teams made many advances into opposing territory, only to encounter an unpassable defence. Finally, about half way through this session, Hudson, at left wing for the Canadians, found an opening, and shot the puck past Bigelow, for the first tally of the contest.

Carson Tailless on Clever Pass

The second session found the play fast and furious. Almost the minute the whistle blew, Carson, captain and star center of the Canadians, took a pretty pass from Westman, who had carried the puck the length of the rink, and tallied on a sharp shot from the wing. Captain Owen of the Crimson sextet then took the puck from behind his own goal, through the entire Toronto team, and shot it past Langtry. Just before the close of the period, Westman, in one of the prettiest plays of the game, skated down the ice alone, and snapped home the final score of the period.

With the score now 3 to 1 against them, the University players began the third period by forcing the play into their opponents' territory. Two remarkable pieces of individual work and accurate shooting resulted in two scores for the University, one by Walker, and one by Larocque, which ended the scoring.

Three Goals for Toronto

The teams then decided to play two 3-minute overtime periods. In the first of these, Hudson, Westman and Carson scored in quick succession for Toronto. The second of these extra periods found Crosby and Larocque scoring for the University, and it seemed as if the score might be again tied, but a pretty angle-shot; by Westman ended the scoring of the contest.

The summary:

Score, Toronto 7, Harvard 5. Goals, by Carson 2, Hudson 2, Westman 3. Crosby, Larocque 2. Owen, Walker. Referee, Sands. Time, three 15-minute periods, and two 5-minute over-time periods.
