With Smith being watched closely by the visitors' defence, it was Captain Samborski and Leekley who shared the scoring honors. They tallied ten and nine points respectively. Smith broke away near the end of the contest to drop the ball through the hoop twice in rapid succession. Bay lock, diminutive forward who starred for the Connecticut five, scored seven points, as did his teammate Makofski, who netted the ball three times from the middle of the floor in the last period...
Samborski dropped in a long shot for the first score of the game. Two goals by Leekley, who replaced McElroy early in the first period, with baskets by Rauh and Morrison brought the score at half time to 15 to 8 with the University on top. The Crimson superiority was marked in this period, the Connecticut zone system of defence proving ineffective against the short-passing attack of Captain Samborski's team...

...change has been made by Coach Wachter in the line-up for tonight's game. McElroy will start at center again, but will undoubtedly be replaced by Leekley after the first few minutes of play. The same line-up will probably also face Yale this Saturday...
Tonight's game will see a piece of strategy in the use of McElroy at Center. Coach Wachter is planning to start him because of his height, which should be of material advantage for the first few plays, after which he will be replaced by Leekley. Otherwise the Crimson will line up as it has in recent games...
