...individual honors. The shifty Crimson center figured largely in the attack and stopped many of the Williams advances with an aggressive back checking game. The high scorer of the contest was Zarakov, who started the game at right wing for the University sextet. Coach Bigelow started his second forward line of Harding, Scott, and Zarakov, and alternated this combination with Gross, Hamlen, and Chase in every period.

The fight for the right defense berth is still on between Coady and Clark and it is uncertain which one will land the regular job along with Pratt.
