Eight minutes later. Harvard suffered its second penalty. Penalty-killers Dennis McCullough and Chip Otness, who weren't used on the first infraction, totally disarmed the Terrier play...
Harvard shouldn't lose tonight, but if it does an end at least will be put to one of the winter's tragedies. No one has ever claimed to understand Coach Weillands many personnel shifts, but an extreme of incomprehensibility was reached when he benched his captain, Dennis McCullough.

...McCullough is a dedicated hockey player and respected individual, who took his position seriously. Again it may be only coincidence, but the one pep talk of the hockey season was delivered by McCullough in the bus before the Crimson players pulled their one upset of the year, against Clarkson.
