...trouble finishing off plays, and despite its success in controlling play, was able to put only seven other shots on Groh. St. Nick's was much improved over its horrible showing at Cambridge last year, and it came to Watson Rink unbeaten in three contests. It did not take long for Harvard to realize that it was in for a hockey game...
