Five Downs M.I.T. For Second Win As Season Closes

A plodding Crimson five that had taken the role of the lamb for most of this term, turned lion for awhile last Saturday night at the Indoor Athletic Building to conclude the 1944-45 season with a 46-35 win over M.I.T. Earlier in the evening, the Jayvees had been whipped by Andover, 65-44.

In salvaging this final game of a night-marish season in which only two games were won, the Crimson came from behind and pushed into the lead during the early moments of the third period. Techman Watson's 10 points had given the Engineers a 19-17 edge at the half.

Keene in Good Form

Center Mike Keene, playing his last game for Harvard, spearheaded the Crimson attack with 12 points, while Watson of M.I.T. finished the night with a 14 point total. Jack Clark, Rip Collins, and Jack Wallace compiled a total of 26 markers for the Crimson.

Coach Adolph Samborski's B team, which had won eight games previously, was alternately hot and cold in its contest with Andover. Outclassed by a 32-17 count in the first half, the Jayvees hit their stride in the third period and were trailing by only two points as the final quarter got under way. But the prepschoolers grabbed the initiative at that point and opened up a sizable lead.
