Kramer, who probably earned a starting position against Yale with his play yesterday, picked up his second assist with a long lead pass to Malin. Malin ran down the ball, evaded most of the B.U. backfield, and scored...

Said Warmath: "If they make more mistakes than we do, they'll lose. That's as sure as taxes." The plan worked perfectly.
