Lyford Stars But Bellboys Fall in Inglorious Defeat

Leverett's league-leading basketeers retained their grip on the top position by defeating Winthrop, 19 to 11, yesterday afternoon in the first game of the new year in the House basketball league.

Adams edged Dunster and Eliot shaded Dudley in two exciting matches by scores of 22 to 20 and 15 to 13. It took the Gold Coasters two extra periods to subdue the Funsters, but Johnny Fisher flipped in the deciding goal in a "sudden-death" overtime.

Despite the nothing if not sensational play of Jopey Lyford, Bellboy star. Kirkland downed Lowell, 21 to 16.
