Although the visitors met defeat in the two first games of their schedule, they have since then shown remarkable improvement, not allowing a single other defeat to mar their almost perfect record. Captain Mumby is the high scorer for the Blue, but will find stiff opposition from Barbee, the Crimson guard whom he faces tonight...
