Sixteen points was the margin of victory of the crack Holy Cross basketball team over the Crimson quintet at Worcester last night, the final score being 40 to 24. After a neck and neck contest during most of the opening period, the Purple five finally succeeded in breaking away into a commanding lead which from the final minutes of the opening session it never again relinquished...

Hickey appeared to cover it at the beginning of the season but has deteriorated in his playing to such an extent that Kelley, captain of last year's freshman team, and Tommy Jones. Tad's brother are now fighting neck and neck for the position. The outfield is not hitting as it should and Hickey and been started in several games in right field replacing Eddy. Slogan has evidently just gotten over a bad batting slump as he got two hits in the last game played. Coach Lauder is shifting...
