...Crimson, whose performance down the stretch seems remarkably similar to that of last season, should again be a major contender. Penn, who five years ago joined Division 1 for the first time and once finished a dubious 17th out of 17 in the final standings, earned the fourth seed, and could be considered a dark horse. Tonight, the winnowing process begins at 'Ithaca, Boston, Cambridge and Philadelphia, and this is how the pairings look...
PROVIDENCE at CORNELL: The game between the first and eighth seeds has never been much of a contest, and it seems unlikely that Cornell will be sorely pressed tonight. Last year, these teams met in the first round at the same rink, and Cornell skated to an easy 6-3 victory. Given Cornell's phenomenal success at Lynah Rink (only Clarkson has beaten them there in the past five years), it is difficult to see how the Friars can reverse last year's results. Granted, Providence has proven its ability to win in hostile rinks, having defeated Brown at Meehan...
...physical pounding it had absorbed in the quarterfinal game against RPI. Even though the Terriers destroyed the Engineers 11-0, in that game, and again won easily at Boston, 7.3, last month, they probably would prefer to play someone else if they could. RPI, who slipped into the seventh seed despite a mediocre record against a relatively undemanding schedule, does not have a reputation as an especially clean hockey team, and is probably aware that it has little, if any chance, of advancing very far in the tournament. Consequently, there is a decent chance of a repetition...
There is some dispute about who invented Crunchy Granola;* at least three claimants have appeared. But everybody agrees that it was popularized by affable, fiftyish Layton Gentry, who has spent the last seven years being a kind of Johnny Granola-seed. In 1965, after experimenting with various recipes for granola as a "freelance baker," Gentry developed a formula that he liked and sold it for $3,000 to Sovex Inc. of Collegedale, Tenn. It caught on not only as a breakfast cereal served with milk and fruit, but also as a snack food eaten by itself and as a base...
...established that almost nothing of consequence was to be decided by the game in the first place. Yale was already mired in sixth place in the Ivy standings, and had long ago been eliminated from contention for an ECAC playoff berth. Harvard had already sewn up third seed in the playoffs three days earlier, regardless of the outcome of the Yale game, and had lost its chance for a share of the Ivy title when Cornell shut out Brown, 8-0, Saturday afternoon...
