Yale's first and only goal came on just such an occassion. Bob Anderson was trapped in the offensive zone as he attempted to kick the puck at his left point position. Second line left wing Bob Karle stole the disk and drew varsity defender Greg Downes to the right alley before feeding Gene Scott in front of the cage. Scott faked Harry Pratt left and hit the right corner...
After a great split save by Jones at the three minute mark, the varsity forced play in the Yale zone until the puck was tied up at 4:27 for a faceoff in the circle to Jones' right. Reilly swung as the referee dropped the puck. His shot caught the goalie flat-footed in the near corner, bouncing into the left-hand side to tie the game...

Stout defensive work held off the Elis for half a minute until the puck was cleared and stolen at center ice by Bud Higginbottom who fed to Dick Fischer. With only defenseman Bruce Smith standing in the goal Fischer fired chest high from about 18 feet, but Smith was able to deflect the disk over the cage to prevent further damage
