LOFTS J.McGUIRE

TOURNAMENTDIRECTOR

By JOHN POWERS, Boston Globe

To the terminal hockey addict, it is Christmas Day cometwo months late.

The thump of the newspaper against his storm door onone particular February morning brings him out of bed witha desperate longing, fueled by 10 weeks spent in freezingrinks from Peabody to West Bridgewater.

His hands tremble. His eyes, numb with 7 o'clock blur,strain mighti ly to focus. This is Pairings Day — a season-fullof fantasy and anxiety crammed into a pile of agate type ina corner of the sports section.

Who did Melrose get? Nash, they COULDN'T have pairedLatin up with MC again — not after last year. Does Southieplay Arlington again?

Ah, Pairings Day—A winter's craziness, boiled down toits quintessence, then set loose again to rock the old Gardento its foundations for one magical week in March. Suddenly,

you care passionately about Revere, now that you're playingthem in the opening round at Ridge Arena. How good isthat kid DiCarlo? How many lines do they skate? Can theyshoot? Suppose we beat them — how about Burlington?

It never seems to change — if anything, the emotionheightens every year, because they are more capable schoolboyhockey teams than ever before.

When the tournament field is whittled down to the finaleight and the scene shifts to Causeway Street, that peculiarinsanity known as March Madness takes over. Who knowshow that fourth-line freshman center is going to react whenhe hits Garden ice for the first time, and hears 10,000 peoplescreaming? He may have scored only two goals all winter,both of them against Reading, but now, he's turning the hattrick against Norwood in the big one.

Tournament fever is what Eddie Burns calls it, and heknows the symptoms well. His Arlington teams-have been in-fected with it for more than a quarter of a century.

The Spy Ponders may be life-and-death during the finaltwo weeks of the regular season, sweating out those last twogames with Peabody and Revere, but they'll still qualify,just as they did this year. And once they win that first one,nothing is ever the same again.

Burns has another typically-balanced varsity this time, ledby another one of his prolific sons, junior center Brian. It isyoung — a dozen sophomores and two freshmen — but well-grounded in the basics. They forecheck with clockwork ef-ficiency, and have one of the most effective power plays inthe state.

You don't need to be told this, of course. You've beenwatching Arlington teams for years, and their style andpersonality is unique. And you can say that about any of theElite Eight, in either division. The familiar names have aknack of making it to the Garden — MC, Williams, Nor-wood, Dedham, Matignon, Southie, Hingham, Canton, Acton-Boxboro, Billerica. — and they play familiar styles.

Maiden Catholic is going to show up with three or fourwizards — Dave Norton, Jim Trainor, Jack Hughes — andenough manic forecheckers to keep you bottled up in yourzone for minutes at a time.

Southie is going to have the playmakers and the shooters—Kevin Coughlin, who is unquestionably the finest player you'llsee all week, and linemates Mike Rowland and Mike Lydon.They were the most productive line in Eastern Mass, thiswinter, a calm, businesslike group that is good for five goals agame, especially when the pressure is on and four thousandof their fans are in the stands. Ask Arlington.

Norwood and Williams beat you with depth and non-stopskating. They'll throw four fresh lines on the ice all nightlong, and eventually some fourth-line sophomore will getthe goal that beats you. If those two meet in the quarter-finals, the game won't really be played with running time.It'll just seem that way.

Peabody, the top seed this week, kills you with raw speed—a first line of Ed Sousai Dan Bowman and Bob McKenziethat may have more straight-ahead acceleration than anybody.

And Matignon, back again after a year's absence, hastwo of the best sophomores in the state — Mark Fidler andBill Cotter, who've played together for nine years in Charles-town. The Warriors unseated Maiden Catholic as championof the tough Catholic Conference, and they've got the gunsto reach the final — provided that Southie doesn't come upwith another miracle finish.

Looking for darkhorses in the best-balanced Division Irace in memory? Try Burlington, the Middlesex championwith the best regular-season goalie in junior Terry McSweeney.Or Brockton, making its first tournament appearance ever.The Boxers combine balance with depth up front, and theirfirst unit of Jim Tuite, Paul Spillane and Bill McGaffigan canskate with anybody.

Or Lynn English, a first-round casualty last year, whowon the Northeastern title and has a fine scorer in JimToomey.

The Division II battle, rapidly becoming a first-rate at-traction in its own right, presents a clearer picture. Billerica,with a Merrimack Valley League winning streak of nearly 40,is by itself, and somebody will have to catch it.

The Indians have been familiar tournament faces the pastfew years, reaching the semi-finals two years ago and thefinal last March — losing to Acton-Boxboro each time.

They have the division's best defenseman in Mark Mas-trullo and a pack of forwards — Brian Russell, Carlton

EIGHTH ANNUAL

Quinton, Bob Johansen, Mark Jenkins — who have beenproducing goals at the rate of eight or nine a game. Aftertwo years of frustration, this may be their year — unless, ofcourse, Acton intervenes again.

The Colonials chopped their way through a difficult drawlast year — Lynnfield, Barnstable, Hingham, Billerica— onthe strength of a swarm of buzzing forwards and a taut de-fense, led by All-Scholastic goalie Ken Moore,

Virtually everything — including coach Bruce Parker —departed in June, but Moore is back, and he was enough toproduce another Dual County title and the second seed.

If Billerica is upset this week, look for A-B to be theone responsible.

Oliver Ames, after two years of wasted trips to BostonArena, is f ina l ly ready to challenge, and the reasons area center named Randy Millen and a goalie named Jim Craig.They spearheaded the Tigers to a Southeastern League crown,and if they do anything at Causeway Street, they will bethe men in the middle of it.

Hingham is no stranger to either tournament. When theHarbormen were denizens of the South Shore and SuburbanLeagues, they reached the quarterfinals of the Div. I tourna-ment almost by instinct. Now, as masters of the Old ColonyLeague, their presence here is automatic. Look for DickHamel, Paul Murphy and an exciting young player namedMatt LaHive to spark the Hingham challenge.

You know better than to overlook Canton. The scrappyBulldogs played their way to the semifinals last year, and

(Continued from Page 7}

handed Oliver Ames their only defeat this winter. GoalieMark Hanson, and dangerous forwards Mark Oberlanderand Steve McNeil do the bulk of the heavy work.

Watch for Cape Ann powers Amesbury and Lynnfieldto cause an inordinate amount of trouble, too. Both werefirst-round losers last year, but their forwards have maturedgreatly. Amesbury, with forward George Dodier and de-fenseman Wayne Fournier, will be a tough quarterfinalistAnd Lynnfield, the league champion, has a dynamite firstunit of Drew Taylor, Bert Burns and Matt Vacsro that simplyate people alive this season.

There are at least half a dozen spoilers, too. FormerCape Cod League terrors Barnstable and Falmouth ruledthe new-look Southeastern Mass. Div. I this year, and hadmemorable battles with each other. One of the two is alwaysin the quarterfinals, even if it means overturning a leaguechampion to do it.

Dual County runner-up Concord-Carlisle knocked off NewBedford, Masconomet and Arlington Catholic before losingto Hingham in last year's quarters, and they could be dan-gerous — provided they survive their match with Lynnfield.The Patriots' first line of Tim Moreau, John Tortorclla andBrett Smith is as good as you'll find in either division.

What all of it creates is one of the most finely-tuned tourna-ment fields ever, the sort of thing that will run you throughthe emotional wringer several times before next Monday night.That, after all, is what makes the hockey addict sprint downhis bedroom stairs with such anxiety every February.

MS; s. P. AMassachusetts Secondary School Principals Association

The Massachusetts Secondary School Principals Associ-ation is composed of heads of the Commonwealth publicand Catholic secondary schools.

M.S.S.P.A. is sponsor of the Eastern Massachusetts-State Hockey Tournament held at Boston Garden onMarch 5, 6, 7, 8, 10 and 17.

Besides the hockey tournament, the responsibility forother types of competition includes cross-country andsoccer in the fall, basketball, indoor track, wrestling,swimming, and gymnastics as well as hockey during thewinter and baseball, outdoor track, tennis and golf inthe spring.

Responsibility extends to the regulat'on of all sportse l ig ib i l i ty , all-star and other non-season competitions aswell as to the many other facets of athletics.

Unti l the M.S.S.P.A. took over regulation and operationof mul t ip l e school athlet'c events in Massachusetts, thesituation aoproached near chaos. Everybody and anybodywere running post-season games and tournaments. Sea-sons overlapped and conflicted. In general there was massconfusion.

The M.S.S.P.A. took over, organized and installed rulesand regulations. School events were run by school people.Athletes had to be school students in good standing intheir marks and citizenship. The M.S.S.P.A. sports credois that athletics are a privilege, not just inherited.

M.S.S.P.A. is, however, much more than an athleticorganization.

That can be deduced from its other committees whichfar outnumber those concerned with athletics, all underdirection of the Executive Board.

The committees are Academic Affairs, EducationalPolicies, Music, Drama, Forensics and Debating; Citizen-ship, State High School Equivalency, Professional Stand-ards, Legislative, Science Fair, Officials Fees, Scholarship,National Honor Society, School and College Relations,External Testing, N.E. Association of Colleges and Se-condary Schools, Student Council as well as discussionalgroups.

Thus it is apparent that everything about everything

pertaining to secondary schools in Massachusetts is theinterest of M.S.S.P.A.

However, sports led to the formation of the M.S.S.P.A.,which took the initiative and brought order out of chaos.

This is an organization of voluntary members, a demo-cratic and permissive body operated with democratic repre-sentation across the state and parliamentary procedureswhose members abide by the regulations of the organiza-tion through their own initiative in membership.

The income from tournaments such as this BostonGarden competition, after the competing schools are re-imbursed for expenses in keeping with a policy that noschool shall suffer financially from such competition, coverexpenses of the so-called 'loser* sports like cross country,indoor and outdoor state track meets and competitions insoccer, swimming and wrestling as well as those in golf,tennis and baseball.

It goes, too, into an annual scholarship fund distributedproportionately to qualifying students throughout the Com-monwealth and for science fair and festivals in music anddrama as well as other programs which benefit students —male and female —- in the state's secondary schools.

The M.S.S.P.A. is the Watchdog of school sports andthe Guardian of school academics.

It also is the staunch friend of school students.
