Fred Ellis, who replaced veteran coach Lew Manley as mentor of the Jumbos this year, announced recently that he is pointing his charges for each contest as it comes, and it is an open secret around the Hub that a victory over the Crimson would be an especially tasty plum for the Tufts trophy board...
