Eagle goalie Paul Skidmore was called on only 20 times in registering the first shutout against a Harvard hockey squad in 163 games-the first since the consolation round at the 1971 NCCA hockey championships, when Denver University edged Joe Cavanaugh and Co. 1-0 somewhere in the Midwest...
...classic battle between the Big Red and Crimson, reminiscent of the days of Dryden and Cavanaugh, when Harvard and Cornell were at the top of the East. Big Red netminder John VanDerMark looked like some of his famous Cornell predecessors, but it was Brian Petrovek who stole the show...
...sophomore center named Joey Cavanaugh ended a B.U. skein of three, as the Crimson downed Herb Wakabayashi and Co. 5-3.

Higgins says his job as novelist is to set down the factors and let the reader interpret--Higgins the journalist and lawyer interprets enough, he says. But the facts--as conversation--are hardly enough, any more than undisclosed...
