...Thompson to try a difficult side shot for the goal, eight players turned sharply on their skates, churned up a white cloud of ice. But back spun the puck to Burke, who, almost as if he were practicing goal shots alone on the rink, sent it sliding past two defensemen, past Goalie Worters-and a red light flashed behind the goal.

With only four minutes left to play, Giddens stick-handled his way down the center lane and, as he reached the University Club defensemen, flipped the rubber back of him to E. T. Putnam '30, who scored on a sharply-angled shot. From then until the final bell, there was a wild scramble in front of the Crimson cage, as the five-man University Club attack vainly attempted to overcome Harvard's winning lead...
