SIX P A G E S
Reception
By Gene Gousie
John Forbes Kerry, associated
until recently with the executive
board of the Vietnam Veterans
Against the War, was the main
attraction Saturday morning at
the Y o u n g Democratic C l u b of
R . I . Convention at the Biltmore
in Providence.
Kerry is a Y a l e graduate who
fought in Vietnam while in the
N a v y . H e was awarded bronze
and silver stars, and three Purple
Hearts.
H e first came
into
national
focus t h r o u g h
the
founding of the V V A W and by
acting as spokesman for the group
in its denunciation of the w a r . ' H e
ran briefly for Congress in 1970
from Waltham, Mass.
Kerry is no longer officially
a s s o c i a t e d , with the
VVAW,
having resigned from his executive
position about two months ago.
He is now working on his own for
various programs connected with
the veterans. Chief among them
are
badly
needed
drug
r e h a b i l i t a t i o n centers and
increased funds for V . A . hospitals.
He is also continuing his efforts in
opposition to the Vietnam war.
" W e don't understand what the
war is," Kerry claims, due in part
to poor reporting by the press of
the actual war conditions.
When asked whether he would
agree with Senator
Jackson's
request for a moratorium on
criticism of the President's peace
proposals, Kerry replied that he
would not and went on to explain
that dissent was basic to the
American
system
and
that
criticism was greatly
needed.
Furthermore, the "peace plan
itself doesn't stand." Kerry would
like to see the U . S . set a
withdrawal date, but would agree
to offer as much aid to South
Vietnam as Russia and China give
to the N o r t h .
Kerry
spoke
about
the
problems of the United States as
a whole in what he termed a
"pessimistic vein." This country is
facing a crisis which has generally
gone unrecognized. He referred
specifically to pollution, as well as
the
present' inadequate
drug
programs, the need for gun
controls, the overly bureaucratic
system, the recent attempts to

Room Selection
Procedures Announced
The Office of the Director of
Residence announced this week
the policies and procedures for
selecting rooms for Academic
Year.
1972-73. W i t h
minor
exceptions, room selection for
next year will be the same as last
year.
R O O M DEPOSIT F E E
As was the policy last year, the
room deposit fee will be $50.00.
The deadline for this fee is 24
M a r c h . It was initially proposed
that the fee should be increased to
$100.00, to insure that
the
students applying for rooms were
those who were sure that they
would be living in the dorms next
year. However, due to foreseen
tight economical situations on the
part of students, this proposal was
dropped.
Fr.
Walter J . Heath O . P . .
stressed the problem of available
space. A n y student paying the
deposit fee prior to the 24 March
deadline, is assured a roam for
next
year.

however, may necessitate a
student wailing until at least a
week, after
school starts in
September, to finally receive a
room assignment.
The procedure for choosing
rooms will once again be a
lottery. This year, however, a
student will be allowed to choose
only a room for him or herself
and his or her
roommate(s).
Approximately 35 to 40% of the
population of each dorm will be
comprised of incoming freshmen.
The remaining spaces will be
proportionally allocated to the
sophomore, junior and senior
classes.
The reason for the distribution
of all classes in all the dorms, is
the
finding
that this system
provides a more stable community
and a broader foundation in each
building
for
maturity
and
responsibility, than the isolation
policy practiced previously. It has
been
found
that a b e t t e r
atmosphere, with regards to social

The Blues Project, the first to
play, came out and gave a very
impressive performance, although
quite different, both in personnel
and music, than the old .Blues
Project of 1965-67. The talented
guitar of Danny Kalb and the
vocals of Tommy Flanders filled
any void left by the absence of
Steve Katz, Andy Kulberg, and
A l Kooper. Not only were their
own
cuts superb,
but
their
variations on songs like Willie
Dixon's "Back Door M a n " and
Muddy Waters " M o j a " ,
were
and
well
The only faults that one could
find with the Blues Projects'
performance were Danny Kalb's
insistence on talking between
songs,
and
their
l a c k of
togetherness. The latter seems
quite understandable,
though,
seeing that the group has not
played together for almost five
years.
After
a long break.
King
Crimson
walked
onstage,
unannounced and, despite their
wearing of the " M o t h e r Popcorn"
shirts, put on an unbelievable
performance. Through yells of
" S c h i z o i d " and " C o u r t " , King
Crimson ran through cuts off both
their new " L i z a r d " album and
their older album of the Lake and
McDonald days.

King Crimson is a pioneer in
the
m u s i c field
with
their
originality. This was exemplified
last night throughout the whole
show. Most impressive were the
drumming and, in particular, the
solo. It started out sounding like a
good, but typical, concert solo,
but ended up in a fiasco of
electronic sounds. The sax, flute,
guitar, and superb vocals also
showed individual greatness, that
when put together can only be
d e s c r i b e d as fantastic.
The
influence of King Crimson's music
can be seen in the music world in
groups like Emerson, Lake &
Palmer, and even in groups like
Yes.
The music of King Crimson was
entertaining, to say the least, and
unusual and took the listener on a
long journey. It was a nice trip.
Congress Plans Referendum
by Denis Kelly
At
the
Student
Congress
meeting Monday Night, Kevin
Delaney, President of the Board
of
G o v e r n o r s , announced
a
referendum to be held on 23
February, in reference to the
student activity fee. " T h e purpose
of the referendum,"
Delaney
stated, "is the question of raising
the student activity fee from
twenty dollars to
twenty-three
d o l l a r s for the purpose of
alocating
money
to
the
Providence College Club Football
Team. In so doing, admission to
all home games would be free to
all
students. The
Congress
believes that any raise in this fee,
should be decided by the students.
"The Football team receives no
financial support from the College
but is run on student funds and
ticket sales. In raising this fee it
would ease the financial burden of
operating expenses for the Club as
well as allow a greater number of
students at Providence College
and your full cooperation is
necessary."
INTERIM BOARD APPROVED
At
the same meeting, the
Congress approved the nominees
for the vacated offices of the
B o a r d of G o v e r n o r s .
These
nominees will hold their respective
positions until March.
Approved are: Barbara Quinn,
'75, Secretary; Ned Cullenan, '73,
V . P . of Programs; T i m Archibald,
*73, and Henry Galenbeski, '74,
Major
Events C o - C h a i r m e n ;
Gerry McDavitt, '73, V . P . of
Operations. Selection of the
nominees
was made by the
present members of the Board of
Governors. Criterion for selection
flowed from personal interviews
with the nominees, as well as
considerations of his or her
qualifications for each respective
job.
Also announced on Monday
night was that on Wednesday,
February
2 3 , the
Student
Congress will hold the Faculty
Evaluation. Question sheets and
answer sheets will be placed in
every mailbox. Upon completion,
the answer sheet can be re.'irned
to the area in the Union outJde
the Ratskeller, where ballot boxt
will be set up. Lee Drezek,
Chairman
of the
Faculty
Evaluation Committee, cautioned
students to follow the directions
provided. Tabulation this year will
be by computer, so the answer
sheet will be different and more
complex than last year's.
The referendum
held on
Monday,
February
14th.

of students participating, wanted

Editor's Notes
•
The C O W L publishes twenty issues a year, and I have been chosen to
be Editor-in-Chief for the remaining seven issues of this semester. M i k e
Donohue will take over in September, and I hope to be assisting him in
whatever way seems best. Nevertheless, I have chosen a staff of very
capable individuals whom I urge M i k e to keep in mind for September; I
know they will show their considerable abilities in these brief seven
issues. Beginning today the C O W L is acting a little differently; on this
page editorials are going to make clear our views on a broad range of
matters of concern, and we are going to do it even where feathers will
be ruffled. It is my hope that this newspaper will have creative material
which will be even more creative, and that we would perhaps even have
innovations. Past C O W L staffers will say that we will get disgusted and
discouraged, and that may be so. But I can assure you that our goal is
to make this paper valuable. If to do that we must have real innovations
it will be done. W e are not out to win plaques, trophies, or Catholic
Digest awards, although all are welcome. What we want to do is make
this a good paper for our reading public, and serve that public.

Gene M c C a r t h y denies that he is becoming Stassenized. It seems
Eugene says that he isn't Stassenized because he hasn't run five or six
times yet; this is only his second time. Does the word "yet" mean that
he plans to become a household fixture in the future? Certainly
M c C a r t h y is ignoring the main characteristic of Stassenization: running
for the Presidency without a ghost of a chance to win; an academic
exercise; only, he takes it a step beyond good old Harold: Gene likes to
hold his breath ' t i l he turns blue if he doesn't get his way. H e helped
N i x o n get elected last time; watch him do it again.

Our illustrious President is going to Peking this week, and we wish
him well. H e will probably be holding news conferences during the
course of his adventures, which is a good deal more than he does here at
home. H e is supposed to be reading quite a bit about China these days,
and considering his thrilling flamboyance one can picture the scene of
him getting off the plane in Peking waving his little red book, and
saying that M a o is one of the four of five greatest leaders in the world:
he said that about Premier Thieu, so M a o shouldn't be too
complimented. M a y b e he can advise M a o on unemployment problems,
and how to treat dissidents as well.

Any
Black
Students?
by Lewis Matthews
The
biggest p r o b l e m with
writing any critique seems to be
the argument that the artist did
not intentionally include each and
every detail that the critic has
discovered. Proponents of such a
position seem to believe that the
unity of imagery and theme results not from
the conscious
manipulations of the author, but
rather
from
the
unconscious
m a n i f e s t a t i o n
of
the
"subconscious writer; "
that
peculiar part of him that pecks
out from under every line like the
man's head that pops out from
under
man-hole
covers
in
C h a p l i n e s q u e c o m e d i e s . By
viewing the work in this manner
one is forced to believe that the
writer is not really skillfull, he is
just lucky and so he is robbed of
the credit which is his due. But
though this argument has been a
strong one for quite some time, it
seems that the validity of it should
be seriously questioned.
It seems that the heritage of the
Twentieth Century is awareness
that man has a sub-conscious and
that he must recognize it. A t the
t u r n of the c e n t u r y
Freud
discovered it. and in keeping with
the morals of a man of medicine,
recommended that it be used to
improve
man's
health.
He
proposed that we tap the wine
cask of the mind with a spigot of
dreams and the analysis of these
dreams will give us clues as to the
machinery of humanity. Granted,
there is more to it than this
oversimplification, but basically
the statement is true.
However. Freud was not the
only man to discover the subconscious. James Joyce was in
Ireland plumbing the depths of his
soul at about the same time that
Freud was prying open his
Viennese patients, and the fruits
of Joyce's explorations resulted in
the "stream of consciousness"
technique. In A m e r i c a . W i l l i a m
Faulkner would soon be using this
method in which the writer has
words flying out in a Jungian
universe to be pieced by the
reader into the constellations of
ideas that form in the dark sky of
the human sub-conscious.
Besides these more famous men
who quite actively searched for
the opening of the mind, there are
literally hundreds of thousands of
people who arc spending millions
of dollars each year, to lie on
couches and have their subconsciouscs unlocked by psycoanalysts. The result of these
sessions is supposed to be a state
of well-being and a freedom from
neurosis that will allow each
individual to function better in
society and within himself.
Then take into consideration all
the people who cannot afford such
specialized help to solve their
problems. These are the alcoholic
and narcotic users across this
century who must skulk in squalor
and self-degradation so that their
sub-conscious can take its needed
constitutional.
F i n a l l y , a l l along
Madison
Avenue there are agencies that
are making billions of dollars each
year because
they know the
formula to creep into a man's
mind and light dollar signs in his
eyes. T h e entire capitalistic
system is based on the legalised
propaganda that is known as
advertising, and the most effective
kind of come-on is one that works
on a subliminal level. This is also
what
Marshall
McLuhan
is
talking about in The Medium is
the Message.
Thus Twentieth Century man is
living in an age that, whether he
wants to admit it or not, puts
quite a high price on the value of
the sub-conscious. So we find
ourselves coming back to our
original debate over the validity of
the "sub-conscious writer". It
seems to me that a world that is
so concerned over almost every
other manifestation of the subc o n s c i o u s cannot
dismiss as
nonsense that same part of the
mind that rcssurecls itself through
an art form.
According to Freud, the subconscious can show itself in many
ways but one manifestation that
we alt share is dreams and at this
point we need a guide to point us
along the proper paths that our
dreams are taking. It could be a
psycho-analyst or a diviner, but in
this particular case it is the
Beatles.
Like
Beatrice, who guided
Dante through the heights and
depths of the Medieval soul, the
Who arc Black Students on
Providence College Campus? , is a
very hard question to answer. Is
he one who attends classes,
studies hard, and associates easily
with "white" students? Or is he
one who docs not attend classes
and talks about how unfair he is
treated by others on campus?
The black student who attends
classes is one who wants to
graduate. H e may have the idea
of trying to help other's of his
race politically or socially. He
tries to fit into an environment
that is not made for him. This is
the only problem. Though his
ideals were high at the beginning,
the environment of an all "white"
college could and would change
him by building a wall around
himself. The wall is of a mental
state, where he begins to care
more
about
himself,
with
graduation being the epitome of
his selfishness.
This student's activities with
"white" students begins to grow,
he sees and talks less with his
black sisters and brothers, thus he
loses his black awareness. This
black's goal is now thwarted, he
no longer helps but, regretfully,
hinders his people's progress. This
is because
the college has
conditioned him to be a "good
boy," a negro who will try to
keep his people in thcir"rightful
p l a c e " because changing the
situation will hinder his job
security. I am not saying that all
black sisters and brothers will go
through this , t most of them will
if they are not aware of the traps
that this institution lays out. The
black who complains because of
non-attendance of classes is just
asrse bad or maybe worst than the
"good negro" mentioned earlier.
He sits back and talks about how
his "white" institution hinders
him and his black sisters and
brothers. He does not try to do
anything to change the conditions
that are prevalent to everyone.
Dead
The blacks who fall this way think
that they are hurting the school
by not attending classes. They do
not realize that this institution
does not care whether they fail or
not, because then there arc less
blacks for them to worry about.
Though there are two extreme
characteristics of campus blacks,
they are not my idea of the
"Black Student." To me the black
student is one who attends classes,
tries to help black sisters and
brothers with their problems,
studies reasonably, and who wants
to get involved in all black
activities which means the college
as well as the city community.
Are there any Black Students
here on P r o v i d e n c e College
Campus?
Would you want to become
one, or do you think it is too
hard?
Campus
by Gene Gousie
Beatles will guide us up and down
the sub-conscious elevator of the
Twentieth Century
department
store
soul.
Pushing
buttons,
opening
doors
and
then
announcing via the medium of
contemporary music the contenls
of each floor they hare us to the
nakedness of what we are.
Sgt.
Pepper's Lonely Hearts
Club Band is a musical catalogue
of twentieth century dreams, the
various worlds created by the
inhabitants of a planet that is
frustrated and choking under the
shadow of atomic destruction. So
whether the Beatles intended it or
not is no longer the question. The
question now asks, is there
something of artistic merit and if
so, what is it worth? The answer
to that question, and the origin of
these articles are one and the
same. S g l . Pepper is a work of art
of tremendous sinificance and I
hope to show that so much care
has been given to even the
slightest detail that the unity of
the work can hardly be considered
accidental.
"So may I introduce to you, the
act you've known for all these
years, S g l . Pepper's
Lonely
Hearts C l u b Band . . . "
For those of us who may not
have noticed, the campi, and
Providence College in particular,
have been unusually quiet this
year. The P . C . campus is always
quiet. This year it is dead.
A casual observer of the typical
P . C . student yawning his way
from class to class would probably
come to one of two conclusions:
that P . C . is the ideal college and
all the students love the place, or.
that the students really don't care
what goes on.
Could there possibly be any
issues which should interest the
students? W e l l , in the first place,
they still have absolutely no say in
the running of the college. The
omniscent, invisible corporation
has faded from sight, still without
a student representative.
Tuition continues to increase.
The students must pay a fifty-five
dollar activity fee. A n d what does
the college do with this money? It
loans money to a group so that
they can set up a rathskellar
totally independent of the college,
yet on the college grounds and in
a college building. Gee, I just
can't wait to see what the college
does with next year's funds. A n d
now we have a newly enforced fee
—
t w e n t y - f i v e d o l l a r s for
changing
a course
or
concentration after a specified
date. This appears to be just
another means of squeezing the
student dry financially.
One of the big disappointments
of the year has got to be the
response, or lack of it, of the coeds to the grammar school
regulations imposed upon them in
Aquinas H a l l . Nothing could
more clearly reflect the attitude of
the administration toward the
students. That uniformed guards
have to stand guard over Aquinas
in order to protect the girls from
themselves
is e x c e e d e d i n
outrageousness only by the fact
that the girls so readily submit to
such
a demeaning
and
disrespectful course of action.
The key to it all is that college
is just a game, just four years of
boredom to which most every
m i d d l e class child must
be
subjected. It is a game, but it
doesn't always have to be played
their way.

disbelief of politicians, among
others. H e remains optimistic,
however, and confident that the
country can be pulled together,
but only through great sacrifice.
Switching from the national to
the local scene, Kerry praised
Senator Claiborne Pell, D . R . I . .
for his dedication and hard work
in Congress. He continued, "to
substitute for a man like Senator
Pell someone who would back the
bombing would be obscene."
When asked if he would at this
time support any one candidate
for the P r e s i d e n c y . K e r r y
answered " n o , " but he did limit
his choice to one of four —
Muskie, M c G o v e r n , Lindsay or
Chisolm.

which
suggested that he was being
groomed as a political candidate

Friars at both ends. A t 15:30 of
the period. T o m Paollotta stole a
pass intended for M a r t i n and
broke in alone on Reynolds who
abandoned his net to make a
crucial save.
The Friars turned it on with
two minutes remaining, but Pat
Finch wouldn't yield in the
Merrimack net. Finally, a face-off
in the Warrior's zone with 15
seconds remaining was called.
This "time out" allowed M a r v e l !
to come out of the penalty box
where Coach L o u Lamoriello
placed him immediately at the
right point. Eric Dixon won the
draw, slid the puck to Marvell at
the point, where the sophomore
let go a drive. With the score, it
was a l l over. Providence 3,
Merrimack 2.
The Friars had the victory, but
in a rather surprising fashion as
Providence failed to bear any
resemblance to the team which
stunned Clarkson 4-3 in overtime.

Play At Even Clip
by Bill Lynch
Coach Dick Whelan's freshmen
b a s k e t b a l l team
is currently
sporting an even record of 6 wins
and 6 losses. Leading all scorers is
Steve Strothers, who hails from
n e a r b y
D o r c h e s t e r ,
Massachusetts,
averaging
25
points per game. Strothers also
leads the club in rebounding,
pulling down a total of 180 for a
15 per game clip.
Contributing heavily to
the
efforts of Strothers, the Friars can
boast of four other players hitting
the double figure column every
game. Gary Bello, an Orange,
Connecticut resident, has a 17 pt.
average that is closely followed by
John Jacksons
14 pt.
effort.
Jackson, a native of Coventry,
R.I. is valuable both as a shooter
and rebounder to the club. Gary
Datcher with a 14 pt. average and
Dan Duarte's 10 pt. efforts round
out the list.
The young Friars are now
riding a three game winning
streak, with consecutive victories
over St. Thomas M o r e , U R L ,
and
Stonehill.
The
three
remaining Friar victories are at
the expense of Rhode Island
Junior College, Quonset
and
Stonehill once again.

are at the hands of the strong

and
Boston College losses were close
ones as the Providence opponents
edged the Frosh by I point in
each game.
Gary Bello's absence from the
starting
lineup was severely
noticed as the Friars were able to
capture third place in the M i d w i n t e r Tourney, dropping the
opener to an inspired Central
High
School
7 0-7 5,
but
rebounding with a hard fought
victory over St. Thomas M o r e 7268. Throughout both games, the
pressure was on the Frosh to
balance the loss of Bello's scoring
ability.
A s a team, the Friars are
averaging 84 points a game
compared to the oppositions 82.
These figures indicate the .500
ball the Frosh have to their credit.

The Wildcats unleashed their
explosive offense to the delight of
a "Standing Room Only C r o w d "
at Snively Arena as they raced
out to a 5-0 lead in the first
period.
Terry
Blewett opened
the
scoring as Dave Bertollo stole the
puck from Glen Collard and sent
Bertollo in on a surprised Brian
Reynolds after 54 seconds of the
first period.
The W i l d c a t s completely
dominated play as Blewett scored
again, followed by single goals by
Bill Monroe, John Gray, and
Gordie Clark to give them a 5-0
lead with 1:48 remaining. Just
eleven seconds before the period
closed, Dave Kelly broke the
U . N . H . streak as he scored on a
scramble in front to the Wildcat
cage, assisted by M i k e Marvell.
In the first period the shot total
revealed the complete dominance
of the 'cats as they outgunned
Providence 18-4.
The remainder of the game was
just a technicality as the first
period barrage had sealed the fate
of the Friars.
Dave Kelly managed his seconJ
goal at 5:44 of the middle frame
on an almost identical scramble,
with the assist going to Gaffney
and Marvell.
The Wildcats reeled off three
more goals as their top line of
C l a r k , Gray and Smith beat Brian
Reynolds in that order over the
final two periods to complete the
scoring.
The loss slips the Friars'
conference record to 6-7, with
four
Division
One
games
remaining. This week the Friars
entertain Northeastern Univ. on
Wednesday at the Rhode Island
Auditorium, then move to face
the Bruins of Brown on Saturday
in an attempt to revenge a bitter
6-5 defeat.

FROM
THE
SPORTSDESK
by Joe C a r u o l o
Depth and experience appeared to be the one-two punch of the Friar
hockey team for all pre-season predictions. Ten lettermen from the team
who gave the Friars a 17-11 record last season (best since 64') and a
berth in the E . C . A . C . playoffs would be returning.
During the pre-season, Coach Lou Lamoriello's prediction was,
"Despite the loss of our leading scorer and last year's captain Rich
Pumple, who broke the s c h o o l ' s individual scoring record, I feel that we
have more experienc and depth, something we have been lacking in the
past several seasons. . . "
Friar hopefuls placed this powerful Friar squad in the top four of the
final E . C . A . C . standings, thus gaining a home ice advantage in the
playoffs. With their 6-5 upset at the hands of the Bruins from Brown,
the Providence team slipped into a five way tie for the eighth and final
playoff position in the East.
To date the Friar's record stands at I0-7-I overall. For the E . C . A X .
standings, the Providence sextet has compiled a 6-7 record, with a 3-3
record on the road and 3-4 at home.
Erratic can only describe the Friars thus far this season. Short flashes
of their power and experience have shown themselves in such games as
the 4-3 (ot) upset victory over the Golden Knights of Clarkson. The
Friars also displayed their rebounding capabilities earlier in the season
as they disregarded the 5-2 loss at home at the Auditorium to the Eagles
of Boston College. Turning to Boston, the pucksters proved their mettle
as they captured a must victory as they exploded for 8 goals. Final score
Providence 8, Boston College 3.
In goal, senior veteran of two seasons is Brian Reynolds. Reynolds has
been "hot and cold" this season, turning in an effort which I believe is
sub-par for the native of Calgary. Posting a 3.90 goals per game average,
the senior netminder has shown brilliant defensive maneuvers against such
strong clubs as Clarkson, Merrimack, and St. Louis, but has let Brown 16
total goals-5 in the third period). West Point (4 goals) and St. Lawrence
(8 goals) get the upper hand. One statistic that can't be ignored is the 37
goals let up by the defense with the completion of the Merrimack victory.
Scoring power is not up to pre-season predictions. Outscoring all
opponents 26 goals to 18 in the first period, the Friars usually break out
to an early lead, only to drop the advantage in the ensuing two periods.
Co-Captains Bosco and Leschyshyn 9-10-19, 6-8-14 respectively thus
far, have helped lead the Providence team. With only five games remaining
(one with highly rated U . N . H . , one with E . C . A . C . last seasons second
place and defending N C A A champions Boston Univ.) the Providence C o Captains will have to skate some to equal their 16-13-29, and 18-18-36
final stats from last year.
One should remember, however. Coach Lamoriello's hockey squad
plays and practices with the disadvantage of no home ice. Providence,
always a top rated club to face is the only division I team without a rink
of their own.
Plans, however, have been drawn at long last to build such a rink on
campus. The Friar fans and Coach Lamoriello will have to wait for the
final decision to be handed down from the Providence Board of Governors.
With such hard fought victories to their credit, to explain the 3-2 loss
to Princeton and a 6-5 heartbreaker to Brown defeat becomes a question
of a consistent concerted team effort.
Previous to the overwhelming 8-2 defeat suffered at the hands of the
Wildcats of U . N . H . , Coach Lamoriello suspended indefinitely from the
team Eric Dixon, John Y e r x a , Gary Williamson, and Gerry Fitzgerald for
curfew violation only adding to the inconsistent attitude which has shown
itself in the disappointing season thus far. The absence of the above
seasoned veterans clearly showed itself in the U . N . H . game and is sure to
affect the remainder of the seasons schedule. With this loss, the hopes of
an E . C . A . C . playoff position appear to be all but gone.
As the season draws to a close, each Friar victory will become a must
for the battling pucksters. Victories over Brown and U . N . H . are
essential if the Providence team hopes for post season play. A t home on
the 16th (Northeastern) and on the 23rd of February ( U N H ) , the Friars
must rally with a strong home ice performance. Close to home, but
considered away is cross town rival Brown on February 19th. The Bruins
were undefeated last season at home, and a victory for the Brown team
would insure an E . C . A . C . berth over the Friars.
In closing, only as an avid hockey fan, have I presented the rather bleak
report. Hopefully, the Friars will break this inconsistency shown and climb
to their rightful position among the leaders in the East. Hockey fans
should attend all the remaining home games to support the team. — as
Coach Lamoriello has assembled some of the finest hockey talent in the
East for the Friars.

St. Bonaventure Stuns P C ;
10-Game Win Streak Broken
by Ed Poglia
Providence C o l l e g e escaped
defeat against a tough Canisius
quintet in the last 45 seconds, 6064 last Tuesday evening, and then
received a thorough drubbing
from the Brown Indians of St.
Bonaventure, 98-82, at Olean,
New Y o r k on Sunday.
For the last 2:40 of the first
half Providence College didn't
score
a point,
while St.
Bonaventure
reeled
off
five
consecutive
baskets
that
determined the outcome. U p to
that point, the Bonnies held only
a one point lead, 38-37.
During the spurt, Glenn Price
had six of the 10 points, and Matt
Gantt the other four to give St.
Bonaventure its 11 point half time
margin at 48-37.
The initial 18 minutes of the
ballgame was played nip-and-tuck
by
both
squads.
It
took
Providence 2:09 to score their first
bucket of the afternoon. When
Ernie DiGregorio followed that up
by hitting a jumper off a Donny
Lewis steal, it was even at four
apiece.
That was how it went during
the
early going, each
team
opening up shortlived leads. With
the score knotted at eight-all, the
Bonnies outscored the Friars six
to one to open up a five point
lead at 14-9. Providence roared
back with a string of eight
unanswered points for a 17-14
lead, spearheaded by Lewis' two
baskets. Back came the Bonnies
with six quick ones to regain the
lead, 20-17. But not for long, as
Providence struck back with a
string of six points to surpass St.
Bonaventure, 22-20.
In the next eight
minutes,
neither team led by more than
two points until Providence went
into that horrendous cold spell for
the final 2:40 of the half.
Although
the
Friars
were
behind by II at half, they really
didn't
play
that
poorly.
Providence shot 53 per cent from
An
inestimably
important
rebound basket by Captain Don
Lewis, two pressure-filled
free
throws by Charlie Crawford and
then Ernie DiGregorio, two timely
steals by Nehru K i n g and Fran
Costello, and a string of seven
consecutive points by
Marvin
Barnes
were
the
essential
elements in Providence's 15th
victory of the year, 69-64.
The Friars led virtually all of
the opening half, leading by three
29-26, at the half's conclusion.
Providence was on top for the
initial nine minutes of the second
half before Canisius spurted to its
first lead of the night; one which
they
m a i n t a i n e d
for
approximately 10 minutes. In four
instances
the
Griffins'
lead
extended to six points.
Canisius attained their final six
point lead, at 60-54, with but five
minutes remaining. Then M a r v i n
Barnes took command.

compared with the torrid 59 per
cent rung up by St. Bonaventure
on 23/39 shots from the field. The
Friars gave up the ball 12 times
on turnovers however, compared
to only five for the Bonnies. St.
Bonaventure
held a slight
rebounding edge, 17-14.
Providence could never really
get rolling enough in the second
half to seriously threaten the
Bonnies. Paul Hoffman worked
over the Friars pretty good with
long-range shots, as he totaled 27
points.
While
Hoffman
was
supplying
the
long-range
firepower,
Glenn
Price,
Carl
Jackson, and M a t t Gnatt were
dominating the inside game to the
tune of 26, 19 and 17 points
respectively.
The big
6'9"
sophomore Price hauled in 15
rebounds. Jackson was second for
St. Bonaventure with 14 rebounds.
A t 15:17 of the second half, the
Friars trailed by seven points, 4356, but they could draw no closer
as St. Bonaventure shut the door
by scoring two quick baskets to
up their lead to 11 points.
Every time the Friars drew to
within seven or eight points of the
Bonnies, they ran out of gas.

The remainder of the period
saw Providence force the play in
the M e r r i m a c k end with only
some spectacular goal-tending by
Finch preventing the Friars from
turning the contest into a route.
A t 19:40 of the opening stanza
Jim Murphy tallied his sixth goal
of the season for the Friars from
John " J a k e " M a r t i n and Gerry
Leschyshyn.
The middle frame saw the tide
take a rather unpleasant turn for
the Friars as Merrimack cut the
lead to 2-1 on a goal by M i k e
Buccieroat
14:20. M o r e
than
cutting the Friar advantage to a

Warriors
controlled the play and forced the
Friars to go on the defensive.

the bench for 14 minutes because
of foul trouble, converted on a
fast-break layup. Costello then
made the first of his two lategame steals, and again it was
Barnes
who
made
that
opportunity payoff by hitting on a
jumper from close in.
M a r v i n Barnes was high man
for the Friars with 22 points on
eight of 21 field goal tries.
C o s t e l l o was next with
14,
followed by DiGregorio with 16,

defensive boards, cleared it out to

went in for the game tying basket.
H e missed his first foul shot, but
converted the second to draw the
Friars to within one, 60-59.
St. Bonaventure outshot
the
Friars from the field 59 per cent
to 44 per cent. The Bonnies made
good on 41/69 attempts while
Providence converted 34 times in
76 tries. Providence also lost the
battle of the boards
to St.
Bonaventure, 42-30. The Bonnies
Canisius finally found the hoop.
This time it was in the person of
the game's high scorer, Garry
Stewart (18 points), as he hit on a
short jumper. But M a r v i n Barnes
countered with a 10 footer off an
offensive rebound to make it 6261, still in favor of Canisius.
Consistency Eludes P.C. Six;
ECAC Playoff Hopes Dim
Coming off a spectacular win
over C l a r k s o n C o l l e g e ,
the
Providence College Hockey fans
faced two important tilts in their
continuing drive for the Friars.
The Warriors from Merrimack
College, a perennial Divisional II
power and a consistent nemesis for
the Friars were first. Providence
opened the '7l-*72 campaign with
a 6-2 victory over M e r r i m a c k at
the Forum in Billerica, M a s s .
But t h i s s e c o n d
meeting
between the two clubs would see
the Warriors press the Friars
throughout the contest and force
Providence into some late game
heroics
for
the
3-2 w i n .
Providence came out shooting in
the first period overpowering the
Warriors in shots on goal l'4-6
while surging out to a 2-0 lead.
Eric Dixon opened the scoring at
10:10 of the first period on a 12
foot drive which beat former
Pilgrim High School goalie Pat
were especially lough on the
offensive boards.
The defeat to St. Bonaventure
left the Friars with a 15-3 record.
Don Lewis, Charlie Crawford
and Ernie DiGregorio brought
Providence College back from the
brink of defeat in the final 45
seconds
of their game
with
Canisius.
For the next one minute and 35
seconds the score was to remain
that way. The pressing defense by
the Friars during that stretch
produced two Griffin turnovers.
Providence could convert neither
and with 1:27 to go, M a r v i n
Barnes fouled out — the Friars'
chances for victory seemed lo
have waned.
At
1:05. A a r o n C o v i n g t o n
scored on a driving layup down
the middle of the key to prescni
the Griffins with a seeminglv
insurmountable three point lead,
64-61. Defeat seemed imminent
However, in the last 45 seconds o l
play the Wheel of Fortune swung
full tilt and some remarkable
happenings occurred.
Time was running out whin
F r a n C o s t e l l o threw up a
desperation 14-footer that missed,
but Lewis snared the offensive
rebound in his patented fashion
and sent it back into the basket.
On
the same play C h a r l i e
Crawford,
m a k i n g his first
appearance in over a week due to
the illness of a sister, was fouled
by Stewart.
It was 64-63 with exactly 45
seconds to go and Crawford at the
line in a one-and-one situation.
He neither hesitated, nor showed
any affects from his not having
touched a basketball for over a
week as he cooly delivered the
foul shot that tied the score, 6464, and earned him the bonus. He
succeeded again and that made
the score, 65-64, Friars.
Canisius still had a chance o
win the game, as 45 seconds
remained. Then the roof fell in on
the Griffins. Nehru King stole a
Canisius pass and fed it to
DiGregorio, who was subsequently
fouled. DiGregorio stuck both
ends of his one-and-one to boost
Providence into a 67-64 lead, with
18 seconds left.
C o s t e l l o then deflected a
Canisius pass. DiGregorio fed
Costello for an uncontested layup
and the final two points in
Providence's 69-64 victory.
Canisius played agressively and
purposefully, but it just wasn't to
be their night. The tough Griffins
committed 22 turnovers, and of
those it was the five committed in
the last five minutes that really
hurt. They outrebounded
the
Friars, 45-41.
M a r v i n Barnes, while sitting out
14 minutes of the ballgame,
managed
17 points and
12
rebounds. Fran Costello with 15
points, Don Lewis' 10, DiGregorio
at
nine, and K e t v i r t i s and
Crawford
w i t h eight
apiece
rounded out a good team effort.
DiGregorio also passed off for
seven assists.
