...varsity basketball team, after suppressing an early Tufts threat, coasted to a 75-66 victory last night at the IAB, its fifth against one loss. The Crimson, dominating both backboards, out-scrapped the Jumbos, who never led after the 5:15 mark...
After the six-minute mark, the Crimson consistently gave away one bucket for two, including eight points by Borchard and six by Cuffe, and with 14 minutes gone, they led, 27 to 18, and Tufts called time-out. After two baskets, one a pretty spinning jumper from the keyhole by Ide, the Jumbos' 6 ft., 6 in. center, the Crimson's lead was shaved to 28 to 22.

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.

When Tufts again threatened to close the gap, big Eddie Cuffe took matters into his own large hands and drove to three consecutive layup baskets, two on feeds from Bowditch, at the nine minute mark...
Frank Yeomans took the dash in 4.8, and Pat Liles turned in a fine 1:15.3 clocking to win the 600, for two more Crimson firsts. In a race of teammates, the varsity's Gus Schumacher edged Art Cahn in a close 2:19.3 1000. Mark Mullin ran his old nemesis Art Freeman into the ground to take the mile, and Greg Baldwin added five points in the two-mile. Bob Downs won the broad jump, and the Crimson totaled 10 points in the relays...
