...Harvard hockey team won the eighth and final spot in this week's ECAC Tournament with a repeat 7-3 stomp over Yale Saturday at Ingalls Rink in New Haven. Five first-period goals--including three within 46 seconds--ensured the win, which gave the Crimson a second-place tie with Brown in the final Ivy League standings...
...effected three gratifying incidentals: Yale was knocked from fourth to fifth in the ECAC rankings, forcing the Elis to travel to St. Lawrence for their first-round game Tuesday; the Harvard defense starved goal-hungry Jack Morrison for the second time, making him forfeit the Ivy scoring championship to Brown's Wayne Small; and the Crimson, despite its loss at Princeton, won the Big Three title...

Meanwhile B.C. took off, and was a clear choice for third seed in the ECAC's. Yale upset Cornell and avoided being upset in later games.

St. Lawrence and Clarkson kept plugging away up there in the woods: The Larries will be fourth or fifth; the Golden Knights sixth. Brown found...

The Tigers overcame Harvard's two goal first-period lead and broke the 4-4 tie that knotted the game going into the final period...
