Weak BU Five Gives Varsity Chance to End Loss Streak

A fine opportunity for the basketball team to end its ten-game losing streak will present itself tonight at the Blockhouse in the form of the Boston University squad. The Terriers, while not push-overs in any sense, are probably the weakest team the Crimson will face for the rest of the year.

Game-time for the varsity contest is 8:30 p.m., and the Yardlings will meet a strong B.U. freshman outfit in a preliminary that will begin at 6:45.

Norm Shepard will start his usual five tonight, with the exception of Forest Hansan, who will open for the injured and Krinsky if the latter's ankle is still bothering him. Shepard said yesterday that he was greatly encouraged by the way his regulars played against Army last Saturday.

B.U.'s Record New Even at 7-7

B.U. has won seven and lost seven this year, but one of the losses was to Northeastern, a team which Harvard defeated without much trouble. Boston College and Springfield beat both the Terriers and the Crimson, although the varsity stayed with the powerful Eagles until the closing minutes of the game.

Six foot, four inch center Marty Reisner is the big scorer for the visiting team. Reisner's quick hook shot and his ability under the boards make him a powerful threat. Another rough player for the Terriers is footballer Bob Capuano.
