In order to prevent one of the biggest problems from reoccurring, the team scheduled most of their games to be on the road as Occom Pond could not be counted on for consistent ice.

Despite this being the Big Red's first game of the season, the typically weak squad fought hard against the undefeated greens.

[2] The team's narrow escape apparently did nothing to prepare them for their next match the following week because the Indians found themselves down by 4 goals midway through the second period.

The sluggish play continued in the middle period and two more goals from the Purple made the game's result almost inevitable.

About halfway through the third extra period, Foster fired the puck from center ice which then deflected off of Osborne's shoulder into the net, giving Dartmouth one of the most dramatic victories in its history.

Sheehy finally tied the score in the second and, after the Elis regained the lead, Lyons potted two more before the period was over to give his team a 1-goal edge.

That hubris came back to haunt the Greens as Army played possibly the finest defensive game in its history and shutout Dartmouth.

The lone goal from the Cadets was all they needed to end the Indians' perfect season and put in doubt their intercollegiate title.

Despite being one of the top prep teams in the country, the teenagers were hopelessly outmatched by Dartmouth and gave the Indians their biggest win on the season.

Neidlinger and the defense made sure that lone tally held up and Dartmouth exorcised the Crimson demon, giving the Greens their first win over Harvard since 1915.

Though the Tigers were having a bit of a renaissance season, they had lost twice to Harvard in the interim and were no longer in competition for the intercollegiate title.

Similar to the Harvard game, the two teams began with a defensive struggle that was vitally important for Dartmouth as Neidlinger was unavailable for the match and Learnard replaced him as the starting netminder.

Both had defeated the Nichols Hockey Club twice; both had shut out wins over MIT; both had sizable road victories at Hamilton.

However, while Dartmouth had lost to Army, BC had smashed the Cadets 9–1 and finished the year with one loss to a western semi-pro team.
