Crimson Five Begins Season Tonight
Team Should Clobber Incompetent Amherst
The Crimson basketball team opens its season against Amherst at 8 p.m. tonight in the IAB, and the contest should provide Harvard with its softest touch of the entire season.
The Lord Jeffs would have some trouble beating Mount Holyoke, and they will be lucky to come within 20 points of the Crimson tonight. Amherst graduated four of the five starters on last year's team which compiled a dismal 5-15, and so must depend heavily on sophomores.
Amherst traditionally has employed a slow, methodical, ball-controlling offense; two years ago the Jeffs beat Harvard 51-41 with their slow-down tactics. But nothing of the sort will happen tonight; the Crimson should win by about 75 to 51.
