The Puritans, sparked by center Ted Nelson, the tallest man in intramural basketball, jumped away to an early lead, which they maintained until the last ten minutes. The Lowell woke up. Snappy fast breaks, a Bellboy specialty, brought them closer and closer, and finally they went ahead on the layups and drive-ins of Goldie Goldsmith.
