...game proved to be little more than warm-up for tonight's Beanpot final against B.U. at Boston Garden. Terry Flamen, playing his first game after sitting out the first semester, should bolster the Crimson defense, as evidenced by his aggressive play.

The composition of Radcliffe's student body--who come from families with a median income of $30,000 and an average income of $60,000--suggests the urgency of building the endowment and boosting scholarship funds...
Coach Ken Klug will be using the same fast-breaking, running attack that varsity coach Bob Harrison used in his opening games against Brandeis and Navy last week. Klug will be looking for material to bolster Harvard's attempt to build a strong basketball squad over the next few years...
