Tonight's hockey game at the Boston Arena should provide a fair indication as to what kind of a season the Crimson six is going to have. If the varsity plays the kind of hockey it is capable of playing and destroys B.C., then the prospects are bright.

Sophomore Don Marquis lived up to advance reputation by scoring twice and centering a fine B.U. first line. Dave MacLeod also scored twice while Don Cicoria and Bob Kinlin each had a goal. Varsity goals were scored by Captain Bob Cleary, Lyle Guttu, and Bud Higgenbottom...

The offense had great trouble in controlling the puck long enough to get an organized attack started while the defense was very slow in covering the swift B.U. forwards. Backchecking by the lines was very poor and in the second period especially, the Terriers were able to organize three-on-two attacks from their...
...rest of the season is to be anything but "amusing," a great deal of improvement is necessary. It would be very depressing to see such fine material in a hockey team play so poorly again
