...clock this afternoon. This should prove to be a brisk and snappy contest as it is the climax up to which both teams have been working all season. The Crimson has had a harder schedule and is as a result the more experienced team. But this slight advantage will be offset by its defence being weakened because Captain Hodder and W. D. Cantillon have both been absent from practice during the past week on account of colds. Coach Humphrey expects to start them and will leave them in as long as he deems advisable...
...fundamental principle upon which college coaching bodies are builded. Although this may not be particularly apparent from a superficial survey of existing systems, yet in any game overstepping of the limits would bring quick enough reprimand. The general feeling now prevalent among coaches, that the game has a slight tendency towards professionalism et. al., is ground for believing that there will be no trespassing...

At no point in the half did either team have an advantage of more than two baskets and when the whistle blew the score stood 20-19 in favor of the Crimson...
...sextet 2 to 1 and 5 to 1, which has overcome Pere Marquette twice, and which in its best game swept over M. I. T. with a 7-0 hailstorm. This is a formidable record and, as far as comparative scores go, gives Westminster a slight edge. The Crimson was only able to the B. A. A. 3 to 3, but overwhelmed the Engineers 9 to 2, by the same margin as Westminster...
