...contest was billed as a rematch with Yale's phenomenal goaltender, junior Ken MacKenzie, who effectively thwarted the Crimson offense in New Haven in February, by saving 39 shots and leading the Elis to a 6-1 upset over Harvard...
With that kind of overpowering skill, Walton has become the most successful college athlete of his generation. His achievements, by now, are legion and legend: his team ran up the longest winning streak in college history (88 games); counting an unexpected loss to Oregon State in a rematch with that school last Friday night, U.C.L.A. has lost just twice in three years of Walton's varsity play; it has won two N.C.A.A. championships and a third is expected next month.
