Playing at number one in an early match, Peter Smith got the Crimson off to a good start with a 3-1 victory over Williams, Clyde Buck. Behind 13-10 in the first game, Buck rallied to gain a 14-all deadlock, but Smith chose to stake the game on a single point...
After a 53-53 deadlock Kelley's jump and two fouls by Vern Strand gave the Crimson a four point lend with four minutes remaining. Another pair of free throws, this time by Kelley, made the score 59-56 with 2:11 left, but Ivkovich reduced the lead to two with a jumper...
