...launched on the world, usually in fecal matter, an egg cannot survive unless it happens to be swallowed by an animal that can serve as intermediate host. Most eggs perish, but the survivors that find a home spring into a burst of frantic activity. Out of their capsules come hook-armed embryos that claw their way through the intestines of the intermediate host and form cysts in its tissues...
Crimson forward DICK WOOLSTON tosses up a hook shot despite the menacing attitude of Dartmouth center JIM FRANCIS. Note protective effect of Woolston's elbow and forearm as they tend to discourage Francis' defensive play. Captain RON JUDSON closes in from left and DAVE CARRUTHERS is behind Woolston. Height like that of Francis' (he stands six feet, eight inches in his stocking feet) enabled the visitors to gain a 45-35 rebound margin in the Blockhouse last night, but they still lost, 69 to 60. The defeat dropped their league record to 9 and 4, and gave Yale the title...
Dunster started quickly, and was ahead 11-4 before Eliot scored its first field goal, a left-handed hook by Joslin. With Bob Leet, John Rockefeller and Joslin dominating the backboards, Eliot put on a concerted attack to lead 14-12 at the half...

Midway in the second, a wrist-deep right to the midsection made him drop his guard; a left hook landed on his jaw and he went down for good.

C| Running, as usual, no faster than he had to, Olympic Champion Ron Delany...
Yale also began to foul rather heavily, and the Crimson maintained an almost perfect foul-shooting percentage during the opening minutes of the second half. A Canty hook-shot brought the Crimson within one point, 53-52, at the nine-minute mark, but the varsity became over-eager and the scoring stopped until Downs drove in with a layup to give Yale a 55-52 lead at the halfway mark...
