...University basketball team defeated the Institute of Technology in the Gymnasium last night by the score of 55 to 15. Technology was clearly outclassed, in spite of an advantage over Harvard in size. The game as a whole was slow and unscientific, and in the second half became very rough. Clark of Harvard was injured and forced to retire. Both teams showed a tendency to foul, principally by holding and running with the ball.

The only goal in the first half was scored by the Seniors, whose defensive play in this half was especially strong. In the second half the Seniors scored two more goals, but weakened on the defence and allowed the Juniors to score twice. The line-up was as follows: 1901. 1902. Milne, f. f., Seaver. Canterbury, f. f., Cook. Coolidge (Capt.), f. f., Burgess (Capt.). Hoxie, f. f., Chaffee...
