Ellison missed a clear chance on the rebound, but it was only three minutes after play had begun in the second period when Tudor found a short pass from Scott from behind the net and slipped it past Sherman to put the Crimson in the lead.

Tammany Hall is, on the whole, a good example of the efficient, reasonably clean type. The Vare machine on the other hand, appears to be the most flagrantly vicious in the country.
