Dick Greeley lost no time in starting things, teeing off from the blue line for an unassisted marker after a more 2:12 of play. The Crimson kept the offense even after penalties, and Bram Arnold soon added the first of two tallies, taking the puck all the way unassisted. The defense, sparked by Greeley, withstood every threat, while McKean added a third goal to the cause after a flurry around the cage...
...matter of fact, the Varsity held up well, all circumstances considered. It took the vaunted Canadian squad 17 minutes and four seconds to sink their first marker, which was equalled almost immediately by the Crimson. But in the second and third periods the floodgates opened to let eight separate players tally eight more markers for the hosts, while the Crimson could only muster three, two of them by Dave Abbot.

The documents had been "aged," said the committee, probably with ammonia. As for the lead marker plates, the expedition's director admitted that Horn had found them himself, when the director was away. They, too, were fakes: metallurgists said the 18th Century French could not have used that type of lead...
