That game is the only game in my life when I did *not* root for BU, because Crocker was Jack Kelley's long time assistant and he was passed over for the coaching vacancy, a real shaft job as I recall even now. It was justice that a far superior BU team was beaten that day. In fact, Kelley's replacement, I believe Leon Abbott (?) did not pan out and Jack Parker was a mid season replacement. If anyone with long memories has the inside story on that I'd love to hear it. Arthur Berman [log in to unmask] GO BU!!!
