    Can only think of a very small handful of regulars who may have been present for this drubbing 68 years ago. However, whatever elation anyone present felt with this win along with tying SLU for the top spot of the Tri-State League and being "temporarily" declared co-champions was short lived. Not long after, RPI got themselves heaved due to the use of an ineligible player. Hard to believe people were not fired on the spot, especially in those times!!!
    What was the incident about an ineligible player? I don't recall ever reading one in the 1950's..

        The source of the information was a website called the College Hockey Historical Archives. You need not worry much about the curator of this site. Virtually all consider this particular source quite reliable.

            Thanks. I am well aware as to who the curator is. I had not noticed the remark about RPI having an ineligible player. I wonder who it was.

But please, keep defending the guy who has accomplished nothing here, is about to lead a team to a WINLESS SEASON and couldn't manage a winning record with an all-world goaltender (who he did not recruit btw)
                Wow another comic book quality analysis what's the chances we must just be lucky !
                What was the Guy who discovered milk doing to the cow ????????...Or for that matter how bout the fist Guy to drink it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                  Was he referring to the 21-2 pasting RPI hung on Williams College in 1952? (That was the last year Williams was a member of the Tri-State League.)
                  I never saw a Purple Cow,
                  I never hope to see one,
                  But I can tell you, anyhow,
                  I'd rather see than be one!

                    Did the coach say that?

                      If you are referring to Smith, I have no idea. But any mention of Williams College and their purple cow mascot precludes restraint from this Amherst alumnus.

                        As of today RPI is a 3-2 underdog for Friday at 54% to 36% ( actually a bit better than i would have thought). We are a 2-1 favorite at 61%-29% for the Freak Out on Saturday.

                          Episode 2 of Talkin' Neers is out. I absolutely loved what he had to say about what it takes to build an elite program

                                BTW, someone needs to ask if the stage is ever coming back
