Although extremely hard-pressed by a fighting quintet from the HCUA, the CRIMSON's mighty basketball cagers achieved a dramatic come-from-behind 23-2 victory in a contest on top of Leverett towers the other day.
Andy Schaffer and Larry Galindo paced the Council with 3/4 points apiece, all obtained by rather dubious methods. Schaffer, an annoyingly proficient guard, was finally removed on a stretcher after pressing his luck too far.
