...sets out to discourage attendance at this year's home matches at Boston University. While the location changes, the personnel remain the same. All but three of the players who made last year exciting, if not completely successful, are returning. The team will still have the strength and style of the Hughes brothers, the power of captain John Cochrane, and Tom Murray's speed...
