...basketball team overwhelmed the M. I. T. yearling five with a score of 28-3 last night. The Crimson offence was ragged at times, but the steady work of A. E. Reed as the center of a vigorous five-man defence held the light Tech five to only one basket from the floor. Team B supplanted team A when there were ten minutes to go in the second half...
...which Lowenthal, scoring three long shots, showed some of the best basketball that has been seen in the Hemenway this season. Early in the period McLeish, who has been out of the last three contests with injuries replaced Samborski in the backfield and broke a tie score with a basket and a shot from the foul line.

The Boston five started in with a fast attack, when Simonds, substituting for Cohen, and Captain Janes broke through, each shooting a basket. Janes shot three fouls while Cox shot a basket and two fouls. Meanwhile, however, the Freshman attack was beginning to tell. Endicott and Reed in turn replaced Rauh at center. Smith and Jones broke through and the former, with short accurate shooting, caged the ball six times from the floor and threw one foul, making the Freshman...
