Hynes broke the tie at 5:24, deflecting a shot off his chest and into the net. Two minutes later, he upped the score to 6-4 on a 40-foot slapshot, converting a long pass from McManama. Harvard's final goal came at 13:13, this time off the stick of Billy Corkery on the rebound of a McManama shot.

Third Line

The scoring was confined to the first two lines, but the credit is not. The forechecking of Harvard's third line of Tommy Paul, Jay Riley, and Harry Reynolds kept the pressure on the Clarkson defense and proved crucial to Harvard's success in the tournament.

The third line's sudden emergence into a unit with scoring potential is probably due to the addition of Reynolds. Although he spends about 25 per cent of every game on his back, and he can hardly be called a finesse hockey player, Reynolds, in the words of Cornell's ex-coach Ned Harkness, "did a tremendous job."

The only sobering news of an evening that ended in a very unsobering way came while the hockey team was drinking itself under the table at the Casa B. At 2 a. m. the ECAC selection committee, composed of athletic directors from Merrimack, St. Lawrence, and U. N. H., decided to break precedent and send third-ranked B. U. to the Nationals.

The Terriers, who defeated Cornell 6-5 in the consolation, were picked over Clarkson on the basis of their outstanding season record and victory over Clarkson earlier in the season.
