Otto Eckstein, Warburg Professor of Economics, yesterday called Moore a "brilliant teacher and great role model," and said he was mystified by Moore's decision to leave...
Humbled, mind you, not humiliated. Harvard turned in a respectable performance, but any chances they had for an upset were smothered by the brilliant play of Red goalie John Griffin. Griffin allowed just five goals in three quarters of action, making Cornell's cage seem virtually impenetrable as he repelled--among other volleys--four point-blank shots from Faught, Bill Forbush and Martin (twice...
