...whole starting combination from last year's second place team will do Winthrop no harm, especially center Ted Nelson, who is roughly six feet seven inches tall. With this in mind, the Puritans are operating on the pivot system which worked well for them last year (Winthrop lost the title to Dunster in the last game of the season). Brawn, if such be needed on the court, is certainly present in the form of football players Jerry Kanter, Art Hyde and skip Garvey; other more slender men include frank Gump, Jim Powell, Joe Thalfer, and Bob Blinken...

The only man on the squad to play the full 40 minutes, Hickey managed to control the backboards despite his height of only 5 feet 7 inches. Jerry Murphy was the high scorer with 15 points. Ray Savoc was only one point behind to lead the Bruins' attack. Lanky Crimson center Jim Stevenson contributed ten tallies for the visitors...
