Last November the contingent successfully defended its unblemished record in intercollegiate competition by defeating a strong Columbia team at the Brandeis Invitational Knockout Tournament. The members of that squad playing together for the last time are: Don Bloch, Peter Y. Connor, Lawrence A. Darby, Emmett Keeler, John V. Lindsey II, and Mark Thompson...
