...first game, an overtime win over Bowdoin, belonged to sophomore Denny Lynch and the one lone senior, captain Bob Bowditch. Bowditch scored 19 points to keep the Crimson in the game so Lynch could come off the bench and score the tying and winning baskets. Despite these good points, sloppy ball-handling had coach Floyd Wilson's crew in trouble all night. Yet the team still...

Holy Cross tied the count at 14-14 after 9:40 on an upside-down drive by Connors, but good defense by Bowditch and Bill Danner produced several fast-break opportunities.

Borchard missed four out of eight, Kelley four out of seven, and Deering two out of four. Lynch, on the other hand, was three for three from the foul line...
