...ended up 5-3. B.U. had the chances, but either couldn't finish them or Bob Gaudet stopped them. The B.U. seniors seemed pretty dejected as their college hockey careers effectively ended, but it was a freshman, Bill Whelton, who showed the most frustration. Just before heading to the dressing room, he gracefully raised his stick and then splintered it on the ice. This time, unlike last year's debacle, there would be no last-minute reprieve and no trip to the NCAAs. This year, Dartmouth and UNH were on their...

Coach George Crowe chose the worst possible time to change both his line, and defensemen on the fly and gave UNH a three-on-nothing breakaway. Gaudet made a chest-save on Ralph Cox, but Bob Francis (son of Emile) flipped the rebound past his left shoulder to knot the contest at one apiece...
