After Princeton's high-scoring Palmer, who led with 16 points, had put his team seven up from the foul line, Burditt rid of the troublesome mask, and Hyde, assisted by Dillon and Hennessey, rampaged for a total of 13 points while the Tiger big guns, outjumped under the backboards and their shooting erratic as a result of Crimson defensive tenacity, were fatally silent...
