PUCKSTERS TO FACE INDIANS; NORTHEASTERN NIPPED, 10-7

Harding and Acker Spark Overtime Win

Meeting a remarkably improved Northeastern sextet with five men on the sicklist, including Dick Mechem, stellar defenseman, and Dick Harding, speedy forward, the Varsity skaters went into overtime to snatch a 10 to 7 victory at the Boston Garden last night.

Surprised in the first period by the seemingly new team that the Huskies had developed since the last game, the Crimson made only one goal on a long shot by Earle Acker. Four minutes later the enemy attacked and the score was tied up. Caleb Loring was added to the sick list in this period with a cut fore-head.

Crimson Comes Back

A rejuvenated team went into the second period and proceeded to score four goals in as many minutes. Acker was credited with two of the tallies, one on an assist from Bill Harding, who waited just 28 seconds and then scored himself on an assist from Acker. The fourth goal was made by Al Everts on Johnny Burton's pass.

Two Huskie goals came through during the period, but the Chasemen kept the puck well in Northeastern territory all the rest of the time. The crowd confidently expected the Crimson to come back after B. C. finished slaughtering B. U. in the alternate period and continue its own mauling on the Huskies.

Huskles Come Back

It only took two and half minutes to convince the sextet that it was still up against a fighting team. In spite of a goal by Marc Beebe assisted by Everts, and a replay of the Acker to Harding to net system, the Huskies played fast, hard hockey, tying up the game in the last four minutes.

Again the Crimson put on its collective Superman suit and went to town in the overtime period. The Acker to Harding trick worked in just 13 seconds and the Northeastern sextet was on the defensive for the next ten minutes. Taylor and Acker made victory more complete by scoring one apiece, both on passes from Boobe. Captain Johnny Paine spent the last two minutes in the penalty box but the rest of the game was marked by his fine defensive play
