The rest of the Crimson's matches were veritable slaughters as it plowed its way through various opponents to set the stage for the all-important Eli match. Captain Larry Sears climaxed a very successful season in this match when he beat the Eli's Sonny Howe in three quick games. The crucial match was between the varsity's Gerry Emmet...
