Six to Meet Favored Northeastern In First Game of New Term Tonight

Exam fatigue, a long layoff, and a much improved opponent may prove more than the Crimson hockey team can handle when it opens the second half of its season tonight in the Arena. The opponent, Northeastern, has played topflight hockey since returning to action last week after exams, and Cooney Weiland's men, with only sporadic practice during exam period, are definite underdogs, Face-off is at 7 p.m.

Brad Richardson will be in the cage for the Crimson. He and Nate Corning have split the goalie chores all season, but Weiland says because he has come to practice more often, Richardson will get the starting nod. "Richardson played very well in the eight to two win over Tufts," Weiland stated. "He made some crucial stops that turned the tide for us," he added.

Dick Clasby and Jeff Coolidge both will be rather shaky in ice, though able to play tonight. Clasby was not able to practice at all during exam period, and Coolidge suffered a charleyhorse in Fri-

day's workout. Amory Hubbard, Walt Greeley, and George Chase will make up Weiland's starting line, with Captain Dusty Burke and Bill Bliss on defense
