Yearling Quintet Nips Speedy Jumbos, 70-67

Coach Warren Berg's freshman quintet nosed out tufts 70 to 67 on the losers' home court Saturday for its fourth straight victory of the season.

It was a fast, close battle between two rangy, evenly matched teams. High scorer Tom Mullaney, cruising at 6 ft, 5 in., bombed the Jumbos in to 28 points and personally whittled the Crimson's eight point lead at 5 minutes before the end down to 3 points. He and Ed Smith, Harvard spark plug with 27 points, battered away at each others' backboards for nearly half of the tallies in the game.

The Crimson used only eight men during the forty minutes of wide open play.

The lineup: if, Skinner, Gabler; c, McCormick, Brady; rf, Smith; lg, Wegner; rg, Styles, Francis.
