Young Five Refuses to Crack All Night; Charley Lutz Paces Offense

By Donald Peddle

Wes Fesler's Crimson hoop hopefuls looked about as good as any team could in dropping a 51 to 33 decision when they bowed to the Indians in Hanover Saturday night before a capacity crowd.

The sharp-shooting Big Green, paced by uncanny Gus Broberg until he was ejected on personal fouls after but 16 minutes of play, carried far too many offensive guns for the small Feslermen. In addition, the Green defense was very tight, limiting Harvard's serious scoring efforts to a flurry of baskets by tireless Captain Charley Lutz late in the fray.

Team Never Cracked

The Crimson cage picture, however, is not a bleak as might be imagined, because the young squad refused to crack at any time before the amazing Dartmouth marksmanship display, and several of the Feslermen besides Lutz showed to advantage. The team played as carefully as possible and actually controlled the ball a lot.

Bill Webber picked up eight points for the Crimson cause, and Ed Buckley added six more. Buckley, guarding Broberg, drew three personal fouls in the opening minutes of the game, and the stocky Sophomore's activities were necessarily limited thereafter. He managed to last until near the end and was a valuable man oven at three-quarter efficiency. San White also had a crack at Broberg and the other Green shooting stars, turning in one of his best games until he drew his fourth foul. The game was full of whistle blowing--the officials called everything they saw and most everything they suspected.

Joe Romano and Bob James, the other two guards, did not make much of a dent in the scoring column but looked good on the floor. Romano showed speed to burn in his brief appearance, and James, as usual, worked very hard all the way.
