Harvard Climbs to Number Three Spot in National Polls

Tie With Harvard Gives Boost to Ailing Princeton Program

Baird, the only varsity hockey player living in the house rated number one in sexual activity, has established himself this year as one of the Crimson's top forwards, playing on the first line with Captain Ted Drury and junior Brian Farrell.

The meal featured prime rib, tortellini and asparagus, some of Baird's favorite training-table food according to one anonymous dining hall employee (and die-hard Baird groupie).

Welcoming all diners was a huge tapestry reading "Chris Baird: The Weapon," and listing his up-to-date season statistics.

****

Notes: Yale's Mark Kauffman had an off weekend and Harvard Captain Ted Drury didn't, allowing the former Olympian to regain the scoring lead in the ECAC, He has 33 points (14-19), while Kauffman has 32 (14-18)...Brown senior forward Scott Hanley certainly scored big on Valentine's weekend.

His eight points (four each night) earned him ECAC Player of the Week honors. He led Brown to two big victories over Princeton (8-3) and Yale (6-2)...

Vermont sophomore Christian Soucy, the 1992 Rookie of the Year, seems to have returned to form after a series of unspectacular performances in net.

He made 23 saves against Union (a shutout) and stopped 41 shots in a 5-2 win against ninth-ranked Rensselaer. Soucy is now the fifth best goalie in the ECAC. Number one is St. Lawrence's Brady Giroux (2.40 goals-against-average), followed by Harvard freshman Tripp Tracy (2.41 gaa)...

How tight is the ECAC race? Clarkson split its weekend (a 3-0 shutout of Cornell and a 5-2 loss to Colgate), causing the team to plummet from fourth to seventh in the league.

With only five points separating the third and seventh teams, the final positions won't be known until the end of the season.
