It was just one of those nights for the hockey team during the first two periods of yesterday's game with Boston College at the Arena. The Eagles carried an 8 to 1 lead going into the final frame and went on to win 10 to 5, despite a four-goal Crimson rally when the Chasemen finally hit their stride.
After Dave Farrell opened the second period with a quick goal, the Varsity ran into a fast B.C. attack. This was coupled with tight and rugged play on the defense that netted tallies for the opposition before Dick Greeley could break the spell with a solo score.
The Crimson kept on the offensive thereafter, although pressing for a goal in the late stages of play allowed several B.C. breakaways and two more tallies for the Eagles.
