The third duo of Ager and Bullard can dish up most any kind of shot from any position. Ager, once a baseliner, has surprised himself lately with net-work that he didn't know he had until Barnaby cajoled him into it.

Dick Bezanson seemed to show no ill effects from his bout with an infected ear, as he slapped two goals past classy BLC net-minder Bill Schmidt. His mate on the close attack, Charley Gregg, showed his left handed shot to good advantage as he matched Estin with three tallies. HARVARD BLC Gregg 1.h. Weisheit Bezanson o.b.
