Crimson Icemen Journey to Yale

The Harvard hockey team plays the first game of its successive-weekends series with Yale tonight in New Haven, and the contest promises to be no more than a warmup for the Crimson's encounter with Cornell next week.

Any game with the Elis, especially on Yale ice and before a Prom weekend crowd, presents a degree of uncertainty. But the Bulldogs sad record (5-15), and the 19-1 embarrassment inflicted on them by Cornell earlier this year, doesn't promise much of a contest.

Yale's leading scorer is senior Pete Markle, who has recorded 19 points on 7 goals and 12 assists, followed by captain Barry Allardice with 18 points on 6 goals and 12 assists.
