5 Faces W.P.I. In Ivy Warmup

The Crimson basketball team concludes its pre-Ivy activity in a contest with Worcester Polytechnic Institute at the IAB tonight at 8 p.m.

Harvard should win with little difficulty. W.P.I. Has compiled a 3-5 record to date. Early in the season it defeated Brandeis by four points, while Harvard bombed the Judges, 101 to 83. W.P.I. bowed to Springfield, 76 to 74 and Harvard topped the Maroons by six.

The Engineers' most critical liability in lack of height. Center Bill Nims (6-6) in the only W.I.P. starter taller than 6-1. The Crimson's Merio McClung and Barry Williams should dominate the backboards with ease. Top scorer for W.P.I. is guard Don Lutz, who is averaging about 16 points a game.
