...Haven team was fully as strong as its opponents in speed and individual ability, but were outclassed by the Freshmen's superior team-work and ability to cover up their goal...
Fast hockey featured the game which followed. Both teams were going at top speed, although better passing might have been desired on the part of the University forwards. The first score came when Doty snapped the puck by Abbott who was defending the Harvard Club goal. Then followed several futile dashes by Wanamaker and Phillips, and a few lost opportunities by the University advance line. Wanamaker and Hicks evened up the score with a quick dash up the rink which with clever passing resulted in a tally by Hicks...
...game since the contest with Princeton last Saturday, and the weakness in shooting has been especially noticeable in the practice scrimmages during the first part of the week.

The University seven's passing and shooting was wild throughout, and the forwards lost several chances to score by getting out of position; but nevertheless Ford was called upon to stop 29 shots, two of which finally got past him, while Wylde, playing an equally spectaculan game, kept a clean slate by knocking down 22 shots...
...game opened rather slowly, as Cornell seemed to have some difficulty with the ice. With the exception of Babbitt their handling of the puck was notably poor, although in speed they were about equal to the University. After three minutes of play Curtis got clear, but passed short to Baldwin, who was unable to score. Shortly after Baldwin caged the puck from the wing, but because of an offside the score was not allowed. The play was for the most part in Cornell's territory during this half, but Harvard was unable to tally, although many excellent chances were given...
