LIVE UPDATES: Pro-Palestine Protesters Begin Encampment in Harvard Yard
The Crimson's basketball tea, appearing now as one of the spoiler teams in the Ivy League, left Cambridge this morning for a two game road series against league-leading Penn tonight and second-place Columbia tomorrow night.
Coach Floyd Wilson will start the same quintet tonight which upset Princeton last Saturday. The Crimson plays in the second game of a double header in Philadelphia's Palestra. President Pusey, in the city for a speaking engagement, is expected to attend.
Previous Loss to Penn
The two 6-4 sophomores, Ike Canty and Phil Haughey, who scored 20 and 10 points respectively against Princeton, will team with 6-4 Dick Manning, Captain Roger Bulger, and sophomore Bob (BB) Barnett.
In the varsity's first game against Penn this season, 6-5 Bart Leach's jump shot with four seconds to play gave the Quakers a 54-52 win. Leach that night had 28 points, but his high-scoring teammate, Joe Sturgis, was limited to four.
Columbia, led by the amazing 5-9 Chet Forte, defeated the Crimson two weeks ago, 76-71. Forte had 33 points, while Canty had 21 and Haughey 20.
