Bewildered by a fast Pennsylvania attack in the second half, the Crimson basketball team went down to a 31-19 defeat at the hands of the Red and Blue in Philadelphia Saturday evening. Ernst, who was placed on the first squad just prior to the game, was high-point scorer for Harvard, netting six points.

The Crimson's fine beginning was the high spot in the game for Fesler's team, and for a few moments showed a fine style which no Crimson Varsity basketball team has displayed in a long time.
