Crimson cage fans will have an opportunity to watch a great Eastern basketball artist in action tonight when the Feslermen square off against Gus Broberg and four other Big Green Indians in the Indoor Athletic Building at 8:30 o'clock...
...collected 14 tallies against the Crimson in the 51 to 33 Dartmouth victory at Hanover in less than 15 minutes of play; for a long time the actual score was Broberg 10, Harvard 4. The 185 pound star from Torrington, Connecticut simply couldn't miss from any spot on the floor. He rang up six consecutive gift tosses that night without having one of them even touch the rim.
