For Cornell, however, little had changed; the team was still unable to expand their playing schedule due to not having an indoor rink and being relatively remote in central New York.

When visiting netminder Mark Galloway complained about the lack of light the coaches of the two teams gave their players an extended rest to see if the illumination would improve.

With Hillas unable to play in the next game, coach Bawlf turned to backup Bill Brady with relative unknown Jack McNair in reserve.

With Cornell being pummeled by the Bulldogs, McNair was put in midway through the second period and turned in a stellar performance that had the Eli faithful cheer him as he left the ice.

Several changes were made to the lineup, including moving Joe Louis to right wing and promoting Buck Ellis to the top defensive pair in his place.
