When O'Leary hit again on a long one-hander, the Crimson held only a 35-32 lead. But the Jumbo five could not continue its threat, and free throws by Greg Loser and Donohue gave the Crimson a 39-33 half-time margin...
After the half-time break, the varsity again pressed its advantage in marks-manship. Four points by Ide narrowed the Crimson's lead to 44-38, but a driving underhand layup by Borchard resulted in a three-point play at 2:25.

The orchestra and its marvellously accomplished soloist gave the work a stunning reading. The rapport between them was evident from the first and, throughout both Mr. Senturia and Miss Vosgerchian brought out DeFallas alteration between Latin passion and delicate poetry...
