...like the Crimson team this year, the game revived and turned into a comfy Harvard blow-out, the victory of a team that is used to winning. When the team moves into a renovated Briggs Cage next year, it will have lost not only the loser's gym but the loser's image. Thanks in large measure to senior co-captains Tom Mannix and Mark Harris, who played their last home games last night, Harvard is now respected in all quarters and feared in some--like Hanover...

...hours, one team will start wating for a week from tonight, the other for a year from tonight. Like any game, Harvard vs. Boston College could be a blow-out, 6-2 or 8-1, the result never in doubt. But it could also be one of those Beanpot classics they'll talk about when the next generation of Burkes and Laus and O'Dwyers and Antetomasos meet on Garden ice on the first two Mondays in February. As nine o'clock approaches, all the ingredients are there--except perhaps the snow. But remember, the blizzard was optional.CrimsonNevin I. ShalitHarvard...
