The RPI Freshmen team beat the varsity in an exhibition game, and they were highly touted. I think the score was 4-2. They then proceeded to lose to BC and Cornell in their first two games but didn't lose another all season. (They tied BU with their Pinball Line.)

2000 for a Freshman game -- we have trouble getting that for some varsity games now. :-([/quote]

I enjoy how the two defensemen were "brilliant" whereas Dryden was only "solid".

On a side note, how great is the Library's Daily Sun online archive? Looks like there are only a handful of years left:

I recall being told that, when Swan was in goal for the frosh, Dryden played defense in front of him.

Does anyone recall if that was true?    If true, was that something that happened only occasionally or was it a common occurrence?

As best as I can recall, it happened in the frosh/varsity game.  Dryden played defense for a bit.  The varsity had three goalies that year (Errol McKibben, Dave Quarrie, and Al McNally) and the three alternated playing goal for the frosh and varsity, while Dryden played a few shifts at D for the frosh.

I don't recall Ken playing defense in any freshman intercollegiate games.
