Pucksters Fall to DC Irvine by Jason Wednesday the Caltech hockey team lost a match to U. C. Irvine at the Costa Mesa Ice Center. The basic problem against Irvine was that Caltech forgot to show up. The Irvine players swarmed all over the puck as if the Caltech skaters were all on the bench. By early in the second period, the score was 5-1 in the favor of Irvine. Haj Sano scored the lone Caltech goal, with the assist credited to Pierre Harvey. Caltech suddenly awoke and played well for about eight minutes. Then Ir­ vine scored three goals in two minutes, putting the game out of reach. In the third period Caltech played much better. Irvine out­ scored the Beavers by only two goals to one. Phil Askenazy scored the Beavers only goal, and Mike Freeman got the assist. The 10-2 final score is not indicative of the relative abilities of the two teams. Meet America's The main problem for Caltech was the inability to get back on defence quickly. This resulted in many 2-on-0 and 3-on-l situations.
