Boston College seems certain to face either B.U. or the varsity in the tournament final at the Arena Saturday night. After losing to Brown at the start of the season, the Eagles roared back to crush Yale, 11 to 2, and beat the Bruins in a second meeting, 5 to 0. Starring the names that have plagued the Crimson for two years--Don Fox, Jim Tiernan, Dick Michaud, Dick Kane, and Paul Sheehy--B.C. is as good a sextet as New England offers...
