In a fast game the University basketball team defeated the Naval Reserves at Newport last night by a score of 16 to 5. Both teams kept the same line-up throughout, and during the entire game only eight fouls were called.

Until near the end of the first half the play continued very close, when by a goal by Henderson and two by Snyder in quick succession, Harvard gained a lead which was maintained to the end of the game.

In the second half the Naval Reserves were forced to play on the offensive and gained possession of the ball only for brief periods. The passing and team work of the University team were more promising than could have been expected, and but for the slight inaccuracy in shooting a much larger score might have resulted.
