...Crimson defence throughout the three periods, and his attack was exceedingly dangerous. As a whole, the forward line showed great strength, and although its passing game was not up to that of Coach Claflin's team, its shooting was formidable. Tobin distinguished himself at goal, making a number of spectacular stops...
...second half was a different story. The shooting of the Crimson had grown noticeably weaker and this fact coupled with the growing attack and more accurate shots of the visitors gradually weakened the yearlings till the former staged a spectacular rally featured by the expert work of Sturm, the fast Springfield center. The Freshmen offered desperate resistance but they were no longer able to display the accurate work that had put them in the lead during the opening session, and the game closed with the Crimson yearlings eight points behind the Springfield five...

For the University, Fitts with his brilliant dashes down the court, Gordon with-his spectacular distance shots, and McLeish with his accurate penalty tosses vied for individual honors, the latter tallying consistently from the floor and runing up a total of 11 points out of 14 free throws...
