JV Hockey Team Falls to B.C.; Eaglettes Capitalize on Mistakes

A hustling Boston College freshman sextet took advantage of frequent defensive lapses to whip the Harvard junior varsity, 8-3. at Watson Rink yesterday.

The Crimson buzzed around the Eagle net throughout the contest and unleashed 30 shots on the cage, but Boston College net-minder Bob Conceison was spectacular. Several times he plucked "sure" goals out of the air with acrobatic lunges.

B.C. took an early lead on "Big Ed" Kenty's power play, but Harvard countered minutes later with a power play of its own, as Dick Delaney slammed a rebound home. Then, with Harvard a man shy the Crimson's Andy Burnes took a pass from Eddie Gallagher, turned the Eagle defense, and scored.

Kenty evened the score for B.C. with 11 seconds left in the first period, after Harvard goalie Steve Clarke had made a succession of diving saves. Clarke was injured in the action, and seemed somewhat dazed for the rest of the game.

Free Wheeling Hurts

Harvard's free-wheeling game hurt it more in the second period. Three times Crimson defensemen were caught deep in the B.C. zone, and each time the alert Eagles turned the mistakes into goals. Bob Reardon picked up two scores, and Kenty tallied again to complete his bat trick.

Harvard outplayed B.C. in the final frame, but again had trouble finishing off its plays. Gallagher tipped in a shot by Burnes for the only Harvard score, while the Eagles added three more goals. Burnes and Gallagher each had a goal and two assists for the game.

Crimson Outshoots B.C.

The Crimson played a wide-open game outshooting the Eagles by almost two to one, but too many times they were caught out of position. The B.C. defense, on the other hand, played a close-checking game and was especially tough in front of the net.
