...Yale, only to have the score again tied by Owen on a short, sharp shot past Jenkins. The third overtime period, a "sudden death", in which the first team to score wins the game, saw Hill, substituting for Beals at right wing, receive a pass from Crosby and snap it past Jenkins, making the final score of the game, and winning the contest for the University...
