More exactly, S. H. Wolcott, Jr. 33, reserve left wing, did all the scoring that was done in this third stanza, clinching the game for the Crimson by a long, hard shot from the blue line. The puck slipped through the legs of the unaware Princeton goalie and ended the 4 to 4 deadlock which had been subduing the play since late in the second period...

...first goal of the game, but Dartmouth jumped into the lead with tallies by Brabbee and Veres in the second period. Stork tied it up with another point in the third quarter, only to have Shellmeyer put the Green ahead with a penalty kick early in the fourth stanza. H. B. Robinson '34 kicked the tying goal with about a minute to play...
