Hockey Team Overcomes Brown After Slow Start, 4 to 1

Harvard defeated Brown in ice hockey last night, 4 to 1. Brown's eleven players put together a grand total of seven shots against a ponderous Crimson attack featuring line changes every minute and a half, two pairs of defensemen, and eight managers.

Brown's team spent most of the evening playing as if it were a man short on a penalty. Bruins strategy was simple: the enemy can't score if all five of your men stay in the defensive sone.

For most of the game, the visitors deployed in front of the cage like a basketball team, making a heroic attempt to block the more than fifty shots peppered at goalie Rod McGarry.

Bruin Tactics Work

Unusual as they seem, the Bruin tactics worked to perfection for the entire first period and over half of the second until Ted Ingalls poked in a shot by Dave Johnston at 10:27. Tom Heintzman also had an assist on the play.

Though the first period brought no scoring, Brown's "offense" did not give much hope to the smattering of Bruin rooters. Crimson goalie Godfrey Wood had only two saves, one on a Brown clearing attempt, shot from the Bruin's own sone, and the other when a Crimson defenseman almost kicked in the puck.

Shortly after Ingall's goal in the second period, Crimson defenseman Dave Grannis bounced a shot off the post. But Harvard was unable to score again until 17:38, when Jim Dwinell slapped in the puck from about ten feet out. Grannis and Morse had assists on the goal.

The fload period started off rather slowly, with neither team making a shot until almost three minutes had elapsed. At 4:01 the Bruins got off their first, last, and only shot of the period, as Colby Cameron slipped around the Crimson defense and fired the puck into the top right corner of the cage from about ten feet out, near the left side of the rink.

Harvard's last two goals came at 12:55 and 15:10. From right defense, Grannis passed along the boards to Dwinell, who centered to Morse, Morse shot on the ice into the right side of the cage for the first goal; and Ted Ingalls and Tom Heintsman combined to feed a set-up pass to Dean Alpine after a face-off at the blue line for the second goal.

In this afternoon's freshman game, the Yardlings won 6 to 2 on goals by Frank Lamarche, Barry Treadwell, Joe Prahl, Miller Ayre, Mike Patterson, and Jim Bausch.
