Maintaining a lead acquired early in the game, Coach Bond's 1936 basketball team had little trouble overcoming Milton Academy's Varsity quintet at the New Athletic Building yesterday afternoon, by a score of 45-18.
Led by the fast playing and accurate shooting of J. G. Grady '36 the yearlings got off to a good start and amassed a big lead which kept them out ahead of their opponents throughout the entire game. The Freshmen can wild in the last half running up more than 20 points in the two last periods. Milton's only threat to score came late in the second quarter when Currier, captain of the schoolboy five managed to break through the Harvard defense and make a successful shot from mid-floor: another shot by Gordon came as the half ended.
The summary: Score Harvard 4b, Milton 18. Goals Ernst 3, Comfort 3, Grady 7, Gibbs 1, Sherwood 1, Silaby, Currier 2, Gordon 2, Field 2, Pierce Referee O'Brien.
