Darren Eliot, the Cornell goalie, was knocked unconcious when a full beer can thrown by a spectator hit him on the side of the neck, which is about the only part of a goalie's body that isn't covered by some sort of padding. Both benches emptied and it took both coaches, and the officials at least 5 minutes to separate everyone. The person who threw the been can was detained by some of the Harvard fans and ushers at the rink. The fellow was a senior and had been scheduled to graduate this May. A Harvard judicial board suspended him from school for a full year, and the Harvard athletic director called his Cornell counterpart to apologize. The Cornell-Harvard games always generate a lot of crowd harassment for the visiting team, but this is the first time someone got hurt. Fortunately, Eliot was not seriously hurt and was able to play the next day. Hal Perkins
