When the varsity won the E.C.A.C. hockey tournament last week-end, Crimson coach Cooney Weiland singled out Dave Johnston as "the greatest defenseman born in the East."

The selection was the last of a long list of honors taken by Johnston this year. The 5 ft. 10 in. senior has already been named as All-E.C.A.C. defenseman. He was unanimous All-Ivy selection for the second year in a row, and was on the All-Bean Pot and Christmas tournament teams earlier in the season.
