...oddities on this winter's schedule find the track team running its last home meet three days after the season opened. Not having run at Northeastern's none-too-great cage in recent memory, the trackmen compete there twice this season. Hockey fans have been treated to four top-notch contests plus an exhibition at Watson Rink in what is, for most teams, a warm-up month. But although the skaters play 17 games after Christmas, only Penn, Dartmouth, Clarkson, and St. Lawrence come to Cambridge. In case you didn't notice, last Saturday found Harvard teams playing...

About all the Bruins, in turn, can call on is Providence, but if I happened to be there I'd stay clear of the football stadium. A merciful score would...
