...those half-crazed, sick addicts of Harvard hockey who couldn't find tickets to the Beanpot or those who could but flunked the first term of their Monday night tutorial, the J.V. icers provided the thrills and escaped with a 4-3 decision over Cape Cod Community College at Watson Rink yesterday afternoon...
