Coaches Propose Plan for Picking East's Top Sixes

Hockey coaches approved a plan to standardize elegibility requirements of Eastern teams for the NCAA tournament at their annual meeting yesterday.

Bill Harrison of Clarkson proposed the plan to eliminate the type of disagreement over NCAA committee's choice that followed this year's selection of B.U. and R.P.I.

Harrison's proposal, if approved by the NCAA rules committee, will make teams play a 15-game schedule with at least eight of their games against six different opponents from a list of 12 top-ranking colleges.

The major hockey colleges are: Boston College, Boston University, Brown, Clarkson, Dartmouth, Harvard, Middlebury, Northeastern, Princeton, R.P.I., St. Lawrence, and Yale.
