Freshmen Beat Yale In Basketball Finale

In the bright spot of the evening at the I.A.B. yesterday, the Crimson Freshman five won a convincing 87-77 triumph over Yale in the preliminary game.

Only five Yardlings saw real action in the win, but each reached double figures in the scoring column. The season's high scorer for the team, 6 ft., 4 in., Gary Borchard, was the game's individual leader, if one can be singled out. Borchard put the team ahead 5 to 0 early in the game before the Yale yearlings could get started. Thanks to Borchard's 17 points in the first half, the Yardlings were ahead 49 to 39 at intermission.

The winners maintained a steady lead that fluctuated around ten points throughout the second half, but it was captain Joe Deering who then took charge. His game total of 21 was second only to Borchard's eventual 26.

Marc Golden, a season standout, led the team with 10 rebounds, and was third with 17 points for the night.
