With four victories under its belt, the squad emba1·ked on the northern trip to meet St. Lawrence for the second time and to test its ability against the aunted Clarkson Tech sextet. The 6-1 triumph over the Larries attested the merits of the Maroon and set the stage for the all-important conflict. Trey Coley, bruising defenseman, put Colgate in the lead early in the first stanza as he ailed a high shot into the Clarkson net on an assist from \Veils. However, Clarkson wasted little time in tying up the game, and the score stood one all going into the second period. Two goals in rapid succession by Dewey and \Vheeler gave the Maroon a lead that was never losL Nevertheless the stubborn Engineers were not licked as they clearly demonstrated by 1·amming home another tally after having peppered Jones with a steady barrage of shots. It was during one of these storms that a riot nearly occurred as there was a scramble around the Colgate goal. As a result of the fracas two Colgate men \ ere expelled to the penalty box, and things looked dangerous; but again Howie Jones turned in a spectacular per– formance by kicking out shots from every angle. Once more Coley broke loose and put th game on ice by netting the sphere unassisted. With minutes left Clarkson still thr atened with a final goal. Momen(.s later the breath-Laking game ended with a 4-3 victory in which Howie Jones was credited with fifty-three saves!
