Hockey

Since our last writing the Indian hockey team has managed only a single victory while dropping five. Despite the record, this year's sextet has played some hardhitting hockey. Coach Eddie Jeremiah has made some changes in the starting line-up, which now has senior Derek Buntain of Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, centering the first line. John Carpenter has been shifted to defense as an alternate for Warren Loomis or Captain Tom Cranna. Since the change was made Buntain has played some of the best hockey of his career, netting three goals and three assists in three games.

Buntain's partners on the first line, Jack Phelan and Dave Leighton, continue to play fine hockey. Leighton is currently leading the league in scoring as of February 10 with fourteen points, eight goals and six assists.

Late in January the hockey team was beaten for the second time by Cornell 5-3 and then by Army 6-5 in overtime. In the Army encounter three of the goals were scored by the then second line of John Fiske, Buntain and Bob Tucker. It was Carpenter's goal with nine minutes left in the third period which sent the game into overtime.

Boston University handed the Green another setback, 9-4, as the month of February opened. Two nights later, however, the Indians exploded to defeat Princeton, 6-3. Leigh ton pulled the hat trick as the Green poured in four goals in a frustrating third period for the Tigers. Princeton goalie Bill Hill made 48 saves and Indian net-tender Kevin Lowther made 22 as the Dartmouth defense clicked.

Middlebury, a victim of the Indians in December, turned the tables on the Green by a 10-5 score. Dates Fryberger put on a one-man show as he scored six goals. In the Winter Carnival game, Harvard broke the contest wide open in the third period to top the Indians, 10-4. The spirited Green made it a close game until midway through the second period when the Cantabs broke a 3-3 deadlock. Leading 6-3 at the end of the second period, the Crimson scored four goals in the final frame to ice the game.

To date the Indians have won two and lost four in the league and stand 4-10 for the season. Even with this record, though, the Indians are capable of pulling some upsets before the season closes.
