ford views the upcoming season with<br />

guarded optimism.<br />

He has been shifting his boat, but at<br />

one stage the first eight included six<br />

juniors, one senior, and one sophomore.<br />

Tom Noble '67 of Stamford, Conn.,<br />

is the stroke.<br />

Others are John Lyons '68 of Villanova,<br />

Pa., bow; Paul Ericson '68 of Ft.<br />

Lee, N.J., two; Bob Kelley '68 of Akron,<br />

Ohio, three; Pete Robinson '68 of<br />

Findley Lake, four; John Lindl '68 of<br />

Kenosha, Wis. 5 five; Commodore Paul<br />

Schlenker '67 of Orchard Park, six;<br />

Richard Edmunds '69 of Freedom,<br />

seven; and Jim Mardian '68 of Phoenix,<br />

Ariz., coxswain.<br />

Average height is 6-3 Vi and weight<br />

is 195.<br />

The crew spent spring recess on the<br />

Potomac River near Washington, away<br />

from choppy Cayuga Lake, and is thus<br />

further advanced than recent Big Red<br />

crews at a comparable time.<br />

<strong>Cornell</strong> will use the traditional Pocock<br />

oars this year, after experimenting part<br />

of the time last season with equipment<br />

similar to the lighter, shovel-shaped oars<br />

made famous by the Ratzeburg Club of<br />

Germany.<br />

Golf and Tennis<br />

Prospects are good in <strong>Cornell</strong> golf,<br />

poor in <strong>Cornell</strong> tennis.<br />

The top three golf veterans from last<br />

year are back—Tom Cleary '67 of<br />

Ithaca, Capt. Terry Hofmann '67 of<br />

Ithaca, and Brian Garman '67 of Mendon,<br />

Mich,<br />

In addition Coach George Hall has<br />

several other veterans as well as a good<br />

crop of freshmen to choose from.<br />

The backbone of last year's 7-4 tennis<br />

team is gone, with the graduation of<br />

John Galinato '66 of West Point.<br />

Four lettermen are back—Craig Finger<br />

'67 of Niagara Falls, Mark Green<br />

'67 of Great Neck, Mark Taylor '68 of<br />

Washington, D.C., and Bill Swift '67 of<br />

Springfield, Pa.<br />

Coach Eddie Moylan looks to a promising<br />

freshman group to help fill some<br />

holes.<br />

a rousing winter<br />

• Improve on the past winter?<br />

<strong>Cornell</strong> hockey coach Ned Harkness<br />

is enough of a realist to know that it's<br />

difficult to better a 27-1-1 record which<br />

includes Ivy League, ECAC, and NCAA<br />

championships, especially when you<br />

lose two all-senior lines and two top defensemen.<br />

But don't shed tears for the Big Red.<br />

And don't be surprised to see the<br />

Ithacans in the NCAAs again next year.<br />

The losses are heavy. Gone will be<br />

the three Ferguson brothers, led by twotime<br />

All-American forward Doug Ferguson<br />

'67 of Birsay, Sask., along with twin<br />

Dave and younger brother, Bob. Mike<br />

Doran '67 of Islington, Ont., center on<br />

the Ferguson-twin line, graduates, as<br />

does Murray Death '67 of Weston, Ont.,<br />

and Bob Kinasewich '67 of Edmonton,<br />

Alberta.<br />

Senior defensemen departing are All-<br />

American Harry Orr of Port Credit,<br />

Ont., and Paul Althouse of Kentville,<br />

Nova Scotia.<br />

A healthy nucleus, though, is back.<br />

The leader is sophomore All-American<br />

goalie Ken Dryden, the team's Most<br />

Valuable Player, who had a scintillating<br />

1.48 goals-per-game average in 27 undefeated<br />

starts.<br />

Defensemen returning are junior<br />

Wally (Skip) Stanowski of Willowdale,<br />

Ont., Most Valuable Player in the<br />

NCAA tournament, and Bruce Pattison<br />

'69 of Aurora, Ont.<br />

A complete sophomore line returns,<br />

paced by center Pete Tufford of St. Catharines,<br />

Ont., who led the Big Red in<br />

goals scored. Others are Bob McGuinn<br />

of Toronto, Ont., and Pete Coviello of<br />

Saskatoon, Sask., while first-liner Brian<br />

<strong>Cornell</strong> '69 of Niagara Falls, Ont., out<br />

the latter two-thirds of the season with<br />

a knee injury, should be ready for action.<br />

Besides these veterans, Harkness can<br />

pick from what is probably the finest<br />

freshman hockey team ever assembled<br />

at <strong>Cornell</strong>.<br />

"There are five or six outstanding<br />

prospects, and a number of others with<br />

a good shot at the varsity," he said. The<br />

frosh wound up a 12-1-1 campaign, and<br />

averaged 11.4 goals a game. "I'm going<br />

to have trouble making this club next<br />

year," the injured <strong>Cornell</strong>, a star in his<br />

own right, said to a friend in February.<br />

The future of the eight Big Red seniors?<br />

Several are going to graduate school,<br />

and at least three are considering careers<br />

in law.<br />

Doug Ferguson hasn't made up his<br />

mind, but he may go to law school. He<br />

has other job possibilities, too, and one<br />

is pro hockey, though he failed to make<br />

the grade in a brief fling with the Boston<br />

Bruins in the final week of the National<br />

Hockey League.<br />

"He needs a year of minor-league seasoning,"<br />

Bruins coach Harry Sinden said.<br />

Doug is also considering playing on<br />

the Canadian national team, with an eye<br />

on the 1968 Olympics, as is Dave Ferguson,<br />

who is eyeing business school.<br />

Mike Doran is interested in Toronto<br />

Law School, and Paul Althouse has been<br />

accepted at law school in Dalhousie,<br />

Nova Scotia.<br />

Harry Orr will go to graduate school<br />

at <strong>Cornell</strong> or Waterloo to pursue a career<br />

in education. Bob Ferguson has several<br />

job offers in Ontario Province. Murray<br />

Death wants to attend business<br />

school. Bob Kinasewich plans to attend<br />

graduate school at Toronto and hopes to<br />

join the Canadian Foreign Service.<br />

Deadlines for the last issue prevented<br />

a complete wrapup of the winter season.<br />

Here are the final events in more detail.<br />

Hockey<br />

Boston <strong>University</strong> fans were far from<br />

conceding <strong>Cornell</strong>'s dominance before<br />

the two teams met in the NCAA final<br />

March 18 before an overflow crowd<br />

(6,571) at Onondaga County War Memorial<br />

in Syracuse.<br />

The Terriers had battled <strong>Cornell</strong> to a<br />

3-3 double-overtime draw in Boston in<br />

December, holding the upper hand in<br />

the two 10-minute extra periods.<br />

BU played the Big Red off its feet in<br />

the first two periods of the ECAC finals<br />

in Boston Garden before 14,000-plus,<br />

but wilted to a furious, Doug Fergusoninspired<br />

onslaught in the third period and<br />

bowed, 4-3.<br />

<strong>Cornell</strong> left no doubt, though, as to<br />

its supremacy the third time around.<br />

Its balance was one major factor in<br />

an easy triumph. So was the superb goaltending<br />

of Ken Dryden.<br />

Bob Kinasewich got <strong>Cornell</strong> off to a<br />

quick 1-0 lead, deflecting Murray Death's<br />

ice-hugging shot past Boston goalie<br />

Wayne Ryan in 1:26.<br />

Skip Stanowski unleashed a 30-foot<br />

slap shot for the Big Red's second goal<br />

at 18:55.<br />

Doug Ferguson went three-quarters<br />
