...lead, but due to the excellent work of the goal guards, no one was able to score. Crosby, however, finally broke the tie after one minute and a half of play in the third period, when he managed to follow up a long drive of Owen's and slip the puck by Gleason before the Princeton goal guard was ready for the second shot. In less than 30 seconds the Tigers were able to tie the score when Davis, the offensive star on the Orange and Black combination, took, a long, lateral pass from Captain Van Gerbig and shot...
