1933: Boston University shutout Army, 7-0, at Smith Rink at West Point. The Terriers excelled in their stick work and skating and pressed the Cadets throughout the game. Carl Clem, Paul Rowe and John Lax were outstanding for BU, while Donahue and Wagstaff were the best players for Army. The game was played in three 24minute periods.

Both teams started aggressively, with Clem and Rowe leading the BU attack on the Army net. Clem scored at 3:50 from a hard scrimmage in front of the Cadet cage. Army counter-attacked, with Wagstaff and Donahue carrying the puck close to the BU net and Wagstaff’s hard drive being beautifully fended off by Russell Wight, the Terrier goalie. BU came back, pressing Army with excellent passing as Walter Bender, Clem and Rowe bombarded Van Nostrand, the Cadet goalie. Bender made a rink length rush and shot the puck into the net for BU’s second goal at 13:17 of the first period. Rowe scored from the side of the net on a shot from another scrimmage at 22:35 to close the first.

In the second the Terriers continued to attack and Army’s defense was sorely tested throughout. Bender made it 4-0 at 2:36, scoring on a pass from Clem. On the ensuing faceoff Army showed a burst of speed as Telford shot a hard drive off the post. Lax scored at 16:45 when he drove a fast shot past Van Nostrand to make it 5-0 after two periods. In the third Clem scored twice for the Terriers to make the final score 7-0.
