	Re: The Yale Whale -
 
	Copied w/o permission from a Yale Hockey program:
 
	"David S. Ingalls Rink, located near the heart of the Yale campus,
	is one of the most distinctive-looking hockey arenas in Ameerica.
 
	Even before it opened in 1958, the rink was dubbed the Yale Whale
	because of the humpbacked roof and arching, 300-foot backbone
	designed by renowned architect Eero Saarinen.  Shortly after it
	opened, it was featured in Sports Illustrated.
 
	The Ingalls family provided the bulk of the money fot the rink's
	construction.  Namesake David Ingalls, a 1920 Yale graduate, captained
	the hockey team twice.  His son, David Jr. served as captain of the
	freshman and varsity teams before graduating in 1956.
 
	The rink, which seats 2,908 fans, is made of concrete with an aluminum
	roof supported by cables.  The famous ceilingis 76-feet high at its
	zenith."
 
	BTW, Mike - I enjoy your accounts of the games, keep em coming.  One
	mistake though from the Clarkson-Yale contest - the 5th Yale goal was
	scored by Bowse not Faust (couldn't let that slip by :^).  Faust plays
	for Princeton.  Clarkson played a good game, Yale which beat St.
	Lawrence the night before 9-5, was more agressive than I have seen them
	in awhile.  This helped tremendously in both of their games last
	weekend.  As a long suffering Yale fan - I hope they keep it up.
 
	Go Eli,
