...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...
