Previously the Bruins had come from behind to tie the score in the second period with spectacular shooting and play making. Dan Keefe first scored with a shot from 15 yards out after taking a pass from Dick Petite. Petite netted the Bruin's second goal at 15:28. The third Brown score resulted when Cleary accidentally deflected a shot past Charlie Flynn into the Harvard goal...
Jumping was probably the most spectacular event of the weekend, and the crowd was estimated at above 5,000 at the Vale of Temple, Dartmouth's Ski jump.

Within a few short weeks in the spring of 1943, he was the key figure in a scheme which convinced the Germans that the attack on Sicily was to be only a feint, led them to weaken Sicily's defenses and so save any number of Allied lives. The odd part of it was that William Martin accomplished all this...
