Jim Cunningham gave an indication of what was to come as he poured through 27 points, followed by Soph John Brady with l6. The Rams then returned home and suffered their first defeat. With Yale's red-headed scoring twins John Lee and Larry Downs hitting for 28 and 24' points respectively, the Eli rallied from a 5-point half-time deficit to win 75-7O.

Columbia's 5' 9 wizard, Chet Forte, threw in 32 points in leading the Lions to a 99-84 conquest of Fordham. Five Rams his double figures but it was not enough to catch the Jet and his mates. Following these encounters with the boys from the lvy League, the Rams took a trip to New England and picked up easy wins over Rhode Island and Providence., Big Bill McCadney with 29 and Jim with 26 led the Rams to an 87-86 overtime win over Holy Cross in one of the season's most exciting games. l I lt was now tournament time and the Rose Hillers took on Miami of Ohio in the opening round of the Cincinnati'Tournament, and with Cunningham pouring in 3l , won 67-60.
