But if Yale if (17-7-1 overall,5-2-1 Ivy can knock off the first and Lynah and Harvard beats Cornell then the crimson would claim sole possession of the league title for the first time in three years.

Regardless, if the Crimson beats Cornell then the icemen will own the lvy bragging tights for the next year.

The Harvard Band's on ice between period show has been cancelled, because Cornell Coach out Reverott threatened to have the Crimson assessed a penalty if either of the intermissions stretched a second longer than the league regulation 12 minutes.

Because cleaning the ice takes 10 minutes, the band will probably perform instead from the stands.

The Crimson's latest casualty is Junior Greg Chalmers, who suffered a separated shoulder in practice last Wednesday.

Chalmers missed the BC game and will be out for the weekend.

The center, who has two goals in his four games back since returning to school this semester, will probably be able to play the following weekend when Harvard travels to vermoni and league leading RPI.

Chalmers is the ninth Crimson skater to suffer a shoulder injury this season.

Randy Taylor (two games). Andy Janfaza (five games), Don sweency (three games) and Scott Farden (one game) have already missed time this year because of shoulder injuries. In addition Tim Barakett, MacDonald, Steve Armstrong and Rob Ohno have hampered by similar problems.

Darden missed the BC game but will probably is plan this weekend Lantarza, who was out very early in the year for a shoulder has injured his other shoulder and is questionable for the weekend.

If Jantaza doesn't play the Crimson will sun freshman Nick Carone, who has two points in his three games.

All Crimson skaters will be wearing extra shoulder rudding similar to what football players wear the rest of the year.

The Crimson has dropped from sixth to eighth in the latest national poll, which does not take into account Harvard's victors over B.C. in the Beanpot.
