Running up a winning lead in the last five minutes of play, the M. I. T. basketball team turned back the University quintet by a 29 to 23 score on Saturday night. This defeat, the first for the Crimson five this season, marked the first Tech victory over Harvard in five years.
Until the final minutes of the clash, the balance of power remained evenly divided. Allen sank a long shot to open second half hostilities, but Upton and J. L. Rex '31 immediately retalliated. Allen followed up with two consecutive baskets from three-quarter court and shortly after the score was evened by Rex. The game continued until five minutes before the end with the count still knotted. Then came the Technology rally, featured by the fast work of Allen.
The summary: Score--M. I. T. 29, Harvard 23. Goals from floor--Allen 5. Lawson 3, Nelson, Upton 3, Farrell 2, Wenner 2, Burns.
