Crimson Hockey Team Smashes Dartmouth, Meets B.U. Today

The varsity hockey team skated and passed well enough to beat Dartmouth 10 to 0 last Saturday night at Watson Rink. The final score, however, was just 5 to 0. The moral: The Crimson team only scores half as many goals as it should.

Against an eager but incapable team like Dartmouth, of course, this weakness did not matter too much. In fact, the varsity's inability to put the puck in every time it set up a scoring play added a great deal to the enjoyment of the standing-room crowd of 2,000.

Against Boston University in the Arena tonight, however, such a flaw could be a crucial one. And if the Terriers have their number one goalie back in action, B.U. could pull off a major upset.

The chances are that this outstanding netminder, Glenn Eberly, will be in action. Injured a few weeks ago, he has been skating since Wednesday and may be ready for tonight's game at 8:30. If he plays he has the ability to turn away everything but the best shots.

After the Crimson had repelled the Green's best effort of the evening in the first few minutes of the opening period. Jim Dwinell scored the first of his two goals in the game at 4:56, taking a pass from Tom Heintzman who had picked up the rebound of Ron Thomson's blue line shot.

Another member of the Crimson's improving third line, Bill Lamarche, netted the second goal of the game at 10:16 in the same period driving in a pass from the Ike Ikauniks. After that, until the last three minutes of the final period when the team netted its fourth and fifth scores, the game was more like a practice session for Dartmouth's defense.

Although it dominated play entirely in the middle stanza and made the Indians goalie scramble for his saves, the only interim goal the Crimson could score was Dave Morse's quick shot from in close at 1:17. The scores in the last period were poked in by Tim Taylor at 17:30 and Swinell at 19:11.

The Crimson victory, however, which gave it a tie for the Ivy League lead and an impressive 10-3 overall record, was not without some very encouraging signs. Defensemen Thomson, Dave Johnston, Harry Howell, and Mike Patterson evidentally learned a great a great deal about effective body checking out West because they were in good form last Saturday and, incidentally, against Boston College last Wednesday.

And, as usual, the style of Gene Kinasewich and the first two lines was very exciting to watch.

In other hockey play on Saturday, the Crimson J.V. team scored its ninth straight win, by shuting out Rutgers, 8 to 0. The freshman sextet edged the Dartmouth yearlings 2 to 1 in overtime. The freshmen meet Boston University in the preliminary game tonight. Plenty of tickets will be available at the Arena
