Six Seeks Second Win Over Yale at New Haven Tonight

The varsity hockey team plays the final game of its home and home series with Yale at the New Haven Arena tonight.

A second Crimson win would not only sweep the season series with the Elis, but would tie up the Pentagonal League and necessitate a climactic playoff game with Dartmouth. This playoff battle has been tentatively scheduled for the Boston Arena Monday night.

Despite the decisive whipping the varsity administered to Yale last weekend, they are by no means a shoo-in to repeat the process tonight. The three hour ride to New Haven, the factor of playing on a strange rink--one of the longest and thinnest in the region--before a partisan crowd, are but two forces which could operate against the Crimson.

Add to this the possibility of Yale's having a hot night, and the varsity an off-night, and you have an upset.

The Brighter Side

Fortunately, an upset is not likely to occur. Jimmy Burns is not likely to have such a brilliant night in the Yale nets as last week, nor is the varsity likely to have so many shots wide of the goal.

Once again the deciding factor of the game will be the performances of the second and third lines.

Yale has one strong line (Bray, Ritz, Clapp) and two weak ones; the Crimson has three strong, well-balanced lines. If the first line can match the Yale starting trio goal for goal while the second and third lines build up a lead, then the 99th Harvard-Yale hockey game will go to Harvard.
