8 Takeaways From Harvard’s Task Force Reports
Sparked by its remarkable upset victory over Cornell, the Crimson basketball quintet will go "all out" tonight to defeat the Princeton Tigers in a frame scheduled for 8 o'clock in the indoor Athletic Building.
This afternoon, newly elected Freshman captain George Burditt will lead his once-beaten cohorts against Worcester Academy at Worcester.
The Harvard Varsity, led by Captain Franny Simpson, will be out to avenge last week's overtime decision to the same Bengals down at Princeton. It will also be trying to keep its home record intact, a string of victories only broken by Dartmouth in the first week of January.
As a result of their victory last week, the Tigers will be favored in tonight's clash. But as shown in the game with Cornell last Friday, the Crimson five is unpredictable and has a good chance of turning the tables again tonight.
Teams Tied for Fifth Place
Both teams are tied for fifth place in the Eastern League, each with a record of one win and three defeats.
Leading the Princeton team will be Captain Dan Carmichael, the team's highest scorer, with 37 points in four games. Crimson Coach Wes Fesler considers him one of the best players in the league.
Teaming with Carmichael at forward will be Charley Winston, whose 35 points in four games makes him a consistent scoring threat. Paul Busse, of football fame, will probably start at center while Ed Lloyd and Dewey Bartlett will undoubtedly start at guard.
Lining up for Harvard will be Captain Simpson and Joe Romano, whose 37 points in four games incidentally matches that of the Princeton captain. Usmer Peabody by virtue of his excellent performance in the Cornell game continues to hold the nod over Ed Rothshild at the center position. Bob James and Bud Finegan will start at guard.
