...Boston College. Stung by academic suspensions, three top seniors--forward Joe Mullen, defenseman Joe Augustine and goalie Paul Skidmore--Len Ceglarski's crew had plummeted in the year's first half. The Beanpot offered a chance to turn things around; B.C. did by upsetting Northeastern, 7-2, then pushing B.U. to the brink in one of the tourney's most exciting finals ever. While they just missed out on a playoff berth, the revitalized Eagles finished the schedule strongly, grabbing seven out of nine Division One contests, including a 5-3 grudge match win over...
Unlike the past four years, when all eyes focused on Joe Mullen's imposing talent, there are a number of forwards on whom B.C. now counts to supply firepower. The Eagle most likely to succeed tonight would be Bill Army, in his last Beanpot on the way to finishing a distinguished college career. The senior center from East Providence, R.I. casts spells with his stickhandling and conjures unexpected opportunities with his passing: a master playmaker.

"This is one of the best years I've ever had coaching," says the former Harvard, Beanpot and Olympic star. "I've never had so much fun. The kids have been great, super...
Finally, Wade Lau makes his Beanpot debut tonight. Like B.C.'s Doug Ellis, Lau uses a loose style that relies more on instinct than form. Between the twines for all but two Harvard contests, he has kept the Crimson in many games, but has also let in some inopportune goals. His performances aginst B.U. and Vermont show that he reacts well to pressure, a necessary trait for any effective Beanpot competitor...
...somehow, playing a big game against Vermont or even B.U. doesn't compare with the Beanpot. The setting and the occasion elevate and magnify the strengths, weaknesses and importance of people and events. So it is with the Beanpot--imagine your midterm rescheduled to the Taj Majal. Both Harvard, winner of seven Beanpots, and B.C., which has won nine, feel due for another...
