Crimson Sextet Takes Early Lead, Wallops Norwich, 10-2, at Watson

The Crimson hockey team scored five straight goals in the first ten minutes of play last night and later cruised to a 10-2 victory over Norwich at Watson Rink. Varsity center Jim Dwinell scored a hat trick and co-scoring leader Stew Forbes tallied twice in what proved to be an easier game than expected against the scrappy, but careless Cadets.

After six minutes of the game when Norwich goalie Paul Masaschi had turned only a quarter of the shots that came his way, it became a matter of Crimson forwards fattening their scoring records. However, the visitors came out for the second period rejuvenated and gave the varsity sextet 20 minutes of close checking and power shooting.

In that period Cooney Weiland's first and second right wings scored on pretty shots at each end of the period. At 1:05 Stu Forbes took a pass from Mike Graney, skated past two defensemen, and beat the goalie with a close shot.

Norwich's only bright spot in a dismal evening, Jerry Schilling brought the score to 6 to 2, but the Crimson snapped out of its momentary relaxation to net three more on Masaschi before the night was over. Schilling tapped in a rebound off Willy Henderson's chest to spoil the Crimson goalie's shutout, and beat Henderson seconds later on a high shot from the left.

Morse's shot put the Crimson safely ahead at 16:05, and from there Morse's line mate Dwinell took over the show. Dwinell flipped to Morse at the blue line for the varsity's seventh tally and scored the team's last two goals.

Standing at the corner of the crease, Dwinell pushed in Dave Grannis' slap shot for a score halfway through the third period. With the help of a Norwich defenseman, Dwinell scored the coup de grace to Masaschi by bouncing the puck off the back of his opponent from behind the cage.

With his two goals and one assist last night, Forbes has 15 points, and stays tied with Dwinell as the squad's top scorer. Forbes still leads in goals with seven to Dwinell's six. Norwich came out on top only in penalties, receiving eight of the 15 violations.

At Watson in the afternoon the freshman team whipped Boston College in a 2-0 shutout.
