Icemen Blank Cornell; McEvoy Shines in Net

The Umbrella Game

With seven minutes remaining in the second period of Saturday night's Harvard Cornell hockey contest, 11 seconds into a Harvard power play, high-scoring Crimson winger Lane MacDonald took the puck to the right edge of the Cornell crease, set it firmly on the backhand side of his stick and flipped it high into the net over diving Big Red netminder Don Fawcett.

The tally was Harvard's second power play score of the evening and another examples of the Crimson's season-long pre-eminence in the crucial areas of both short handed and man-advantage play.

When skaters were serving time in the penalty box Saturday night, the Crimson dominates its upstate New York rivals in every aspect of play.

After being stymied on its first three power-play opportunities by a rushing Cornell defense, Harvard went into an attacking pattern called the "umbrella" and converted two of the next three man-up chances.

In turn, the icemen prevented Cornell from scoring a single goal in six power-play opportunities. And to add insult to injury, Jerry Pawloski tucked home the third.

Should a Harvard hockey fan of the future want

to understand what a typical games like for the

1986-87 Crimson, he would do well to watch the

videotape of Saturday's Cornell contest.
