...Crimson had had reason to expect, the Bulldogs were out for blood. A 9-12 season had already eliminated them from the Ivy race, and from consideration for an ECAC playoff berth next month. A victory over Harvard was all Yale had to look forward to, and when it became apparent midway through the game that it was not forthcoming, the contest rapidly disintegrated into a game of shinny...
...Morrison was breaking records down at Ingalls Rink, and the Yale hockey team was actually being taken seriously by the majority of its opponents, the pre-season objectives have been the same in New Haven.

Equally important to the Crimson, however, is the match between Princeton and Cornell at Baker Rink. If the Tigers can pull an upset (unlikely, since captain Art Schmon quit the squad Monday and defenseman Brian MacIntosh is benched for fighting last Wednesday), Harvard is assured of a tie for the Ivy title, provided it wins its last two games...

If that happens, there will be a scramble among Dartmouth, Boston College and Providence for the seventh and eighth berths. The Friars, after a rough mid-season, have taken care of Northeastern, Brown and New Hampshire in succession...
