Parity reigns supreme in the ECAC -- five points separate the top four
teams, while seven points separate the remaining eight.  The upset of the
year occurred Friday night, with (take your pick) Dartmouth winning at
Harvard and Cornell winning at Clarkson.  The Golden Knights, who appeared
ready to run away with the league championship, are now back in a first-
place tie with Brown, which has now won three in a row after a six-game
winless streak.  Results from last week's play:
