Coast Guard Tops Crimson, 40 to 34, Despite Late Rally

Despite a fourth period rally which featured five successive field goals, Harvard's basketball team went down before the Boston Coast Guard quintet, 40 to 34, last Wednesday night.

The Crimson started off slowly, scoring only six points in the entire first half to the Coast Guard's 16. The play was featured by the inaccurate shooting of the Stahlmen and the deadly set-shots of the Coast Guardsmen's Chuck Hoeffer and Lou Belanger. The later, a huge fellow who tops the scales at well over 200 pounds, was the key man in the Coast Guard attack, setting up most of their scoring attempts with his accurate passing.

Both the competition and the scoring tempo picked up somewhat in the third stanza, with Harvard scoring 12 points and the sailors 17. Still, with only one ten-minute period left to play, the Coast Guard led 33 to 18. It was at this point that the big Crimson rally took place.

The flare-up started off rather innocently with a basket by Dick Manville and one by Hoeffer representing the only liams), which is recommended to government concentrators, and Dr. Richard M. Goodwin's Economics 46, "Introduction to Mathematical Business Cycle Theory." Economics 4a, 81b, and 181b have been dropped from the spring term program.

Nine courses will be given by the English Department, with only four, including English A, beginning in March. Professor George W. Sherburn's English 40a, "English Literature from 1700 to 1740," Professor F. O. Matthiessen's English 80a, "Criticism of Poetry," and traditional snap course English 35a, "The English Bible: The Old Testament" (Professor James M. Munn), will also be given in the spring term, for graduates and undergraduates.

The Chemistry Department offers ten courses for the spring term, and only one of them, a graduate course, completes something already begun. No changes were made over the catalogue listings in this field. Physics Ba, "Elementary Physics for Beginners--Mechanics, Heat, and Sound," heads the list of additions to the natural sciences. The Physics Department offers only five undergraduate courses beginning in March, and one of these concludes the work of the preceding term. Biology 24, "Animal Histology" (Professor Alden B. Dawson) has been added to the other six undergraduate courses, all starting courses, listed in that department.

The natural sciences departments have been reduced as severely as most other departments, but except for the Mathematics Departments, which offers only four beginning courses for undergraduates, they have managed to start more of their courses in the spring term.
