I seem to remember a TV interview with Jack Parker about that Beanpot and
he mentioned that Jack O'Callahan and a few others got dropped off at the
Dugout (a favorite BU watering hole) on Monday night.  There was no
mention when they left :).
 
I was talking to a Pro Scout a few years later who was at that Beanpot.
He had quite a few horror stories about the hotel accomodations (no heat,
food, etc), during the blizzard.  He was laughing about it then, so while
it was bad, it was not THAT bad, at least compared to those who were on
the shore.
