From the beginning the Freshmen forced the pace. After four minutes Baker carried the puck the length of the ice, passing to Martin who scored on a low shot. Here, O'Hearn, captain of the Brookline team took the puck down the ice in a series of brilliant rushes but was unable to tally. The half ended with the puck in the Brookline territory.
