...Fern Flaman, whose Northeastern squad broke Yale's five-game winning streak last Tuesday, said of the Elis, "I've never seen so many big players: they look almost like a professional team." And Taylor admits to putting brawn to good use: "I think we have some good decent size. We're going to try to skate with Harvard as much as possible, though we'll take the body where that's appropriate and skate for the openings when...
McDougall has led that potent offense in the last two seasons as the center on the Huskies' top line. Last year, coach Fern Flaman was blessed with the nation's most productive trio in McDougall (39 points), right wing Gerry Cowie (47 pts.) and left wing Sandy Beadle (59 pts.).

...squad that shocked the east last fall returns intact, with one notable exception. All-American forward Sandy Beadle has left Northeastern for the NHL's Winnipeg Jets, and that leaves a hole coach Fern Flaman will be struggling to fill. Still, enough should be left for the Huskies to challenge for the top four--if they are the team of last December, not the flops of February and March...
