With the score tied, 9 to 9, at the end of the second half, Cornell opened the extra period with a rush, Captain Lucker scoring a goal directly after the face-off. Cobb followed with two goals in rapid succession for Harvard and Captain Vance tallied the twelfth goal for the University team after a scrimmage.
