The win strengthened our slim first place advantage in state play. Carr one-handed 21 through the nets, with Young getting 15 and Murphy 13. This was a thriller before a small crowd. MIKE CARR All Slate H. M SMC 65, Boston Univ. 66. Don't anyone mention that Boston hoax. It happened again this year. The Knights came from behind in the third canto to roll up a nine point margin. But it didn't last long. A B.U. reserve pump- ed one in with seconds remaining and it was a head- shaking loss in a rough game. Barry and Carr turned in good accounts. The former swished 24.

Varsity coach Doon Jacobs was assisted by both former SM ace Paul Aumand, and a present performer, Bob Bol- ster in turning out the 1952-53 edition of the Purple Squires. The tutoring of this trio paid off, as the Jayvees improved with each succeeding game. They finished with a 3-3 record. but Won three of their last four outings.
