Last year's opener with Tech, on the small floor of Hangar gym, resulted in a 29 to 24 setback for the Crimson cagemen, and they are anxious to avenge that defeat this year. M. I. T. presents a veteran quintet, but the Feslermen should be much improved over their last year's early season form...
Captain Lupe Lupien leads his victory-hungry five for the last time, and Fred Heckel also bows out of competition against the favored Blue tonight.

Even if this five does not answer the opening whistle, it is certain to see plenty of service during the course of the night...
