Crimson Five Should Triumph Over Trinity

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

The Crimson basketball team will shoot for its sixth victory of the season against Trinity tonight in the I.A.B.

The Hilltoppers have lost only one game this season--by one point. But if Harvard turns in just an average performance they can win; if the quintet is as hot as they were against M.I.T., it could be a long night for the boys from Hartford.

Trinity lacks a really big man--the tallest of their starting five stands 6-4--so rebounding superiority should give the Crimson all the edge it needs.

One major problem could confront the Crimson: the Hilltoppers like to run with the ball. The combination of repeated fast breaks and Harvard's lack of depth could conceivably spell trouble.

Harvard will start its usual contingent of Barry Williams, Bob Inman, Merie McClung, and Al Bornheimer, who spearheaded the team's rout of M.I.T.

Harvard best Northeastern by three points: Northeastern beat Clark by six; Trinity beat Clark by two; Harvard beat M.I.T. by 19; M.I.T. beat Trinity by one; Harvard beat Williams by nine; Trinity beat Williams by ten. Therefore, the Crimson should win by 8.7 points tonight.
