1925: Boston University and Cornell met for the first time on the ice of Beebe Lake at Ithaca. In the opening game of the season for Cornell the Big Red went down to defeat at the hands of BU by a score of 7 to 2. The superior stick work and skating of the Terriers proved too much for the Cornellians, who had been handicapped by lack of ice, to overcome.

The New Englanders kept the play in Cornell's territory throughout most of the game. It was not until the third period that Cornell succeeded in breaking up the Terriers’ passing with any success. BU left wing John Lawless scored on a shot in the first minute of play, but Cornell left wing Cook tied the game immediately after. Then the Terriers passing game began to work and at the end of the first period BU was leading 4-1. In the second period BU scored three more goals for a 7-1 lead after two. In the third Cornell braced and not only succeeded in breaking up the BU passes, but held them scoreless while Aaronson scored a goal for the Big Red. For game the Terriers’ Lawless scored two goals, as did Chester Scott, while Julian and Morey Kontoff each scored one, as did Rod Ling.
