Murray Death is certainly one of those. The reason that I am writing is to ask if anyone can either verify or refute the following story that I heard several times while an undergraduate at Rensselaer (then called RPI :-) ). Ned Harkness left RPI after the 1962-63 season after already recruiting what was to have become the class of '67 at RPI. He took these student athletes with him to Cornell. They included the previously mentioned Murray Death as well as about 16 players named Ferguson (well, maybe 3), and perhaps others. Had these players gone to RPI (and had not Rube Bjorkman skipped town for UNH after one successful year), I would not have been able to claim that my undergraduate years (64-65 - 67-68) combined for the worst record of any class at RPI. Anyway, does anyone know if Death, et al. really had intended to go to RPI? Ralph Baer RPI '68, '70, '74
