Fortunately, the hockey team met one of the poorest sextets ever produced by Boston University coach Harry Cleverly last night. Otherwise, it might not be facing Boston College in the finals of the Beanpot Tournament at 9 p.m. tonight in the Garden.

The scores were 3 to 2 for Crimson and 8 to 5 for B.C. over Northeastern, as the four teams produced some of the dullest hockey seen this year.

Goalie Bob Bradley was outstanding for B.U., turning away 33 shots by the Crimson and only missing a tie because left wing Ned Bliss' blue line shot in the second period took a bad hop past him into the goal.

Cooney Weiland's sextet was clearly the superior team, but it was a far cry from the hustling sextet that topped Dartmouth last Saturday. Time and again, smooth play making by all three Crimson lines worked the puck behind the Terrier defense, but Bradley's harp defensive work and Crimson listlessness around the not combined to keep the score close all evening.

Charlie Flynn had 21 saves for Harvard and might have had his second shutout in a row if there had not been two defensive lapses by the second line. His shutout disappeared at 11:55 of the first cried when Terrier left wing John Burns picked up a loose puck behind the Crimson not and passed it out to center Johnny Murphy. He slapped it past Flynn to put the Terriers temporarily ahead.

Dick Clasby, playing on the third line, evened the score at 15:21 of the period with the prettiest play of the night. He took center Frank Mahoney's pass just back of the blue line, bore right through the middle of the B.U. defense, and boat Bradley.

Bliss' bouncer put the varsity ahead following a tripping penalty on Burns at 6:00 of the second period, and Scott Cooledge's unassisted goal during a melee at the B.U. not at 18:20 supplied the victory margin.

Play picked up in the final period, but the only score resulted from a deflection off Joe Crohore's stick into the Crimson goal. Murphy, who had passed the puck in front of the cage, got credit for the tally.

Defense Pairing Broken

It appears that the famous defensive two-some of Jeff Coolidge and Ed Mrkonich has been permanently broken up. Again last night Coolidge played with Ned Almy, and Mrkonich teamed with Him Moynihan. Both Coolidge and Mrkonich were particularly effective with their body-checks.

Boston College, which has lost only to St. Lawrence in ten starts, beating the varsity 5 to 2 before Christmas, had to rally to stop a determined Northeastern sextet. The Eagles are still without the services of the injured star first liner, sophomore Billy McGuire
