This week's "Off The Crossbar" column in the IJ talks about Cornell's previous history of holding onto third period leads and their failure to do so last weekend. It's also noted that both Barlow and Brendon Nash were scratched for health reasons in Saturday's game against Clarkson.

NCAA semifinal, 1973
Cornell 5, Wisconsin 2 - start of third
Cornell 5, Wisconsin 4 - final minute
Wisconsin 6, Cornell 5 - OT
