Although held to five points by the Cornell squad, the rangy Sophomore turned the tables completely on Big Jim Olsen, Dartmouth's six feet, five inch center, and dropped in ten twin-pointers and a free throw for the highest individual game total of the season for the Crimson. He played the full forty minutes, the only player to do so for the Cantabs...
Individually, Bunks Burditt, last year's Freshman captain, was the star of the evening, playing a full 40 minutes and running up a total of 21 points. His center pivots and off-the-backboard play ran the big Jim Olsen and two of his reliefs ragged in their vain efforts to halt the hard-playing Sophomore.
