Coach Moe Berg's freshman quintet shoots for its most crucial victory of the mid-winter season today when it meets a high-scoring Holy Cross five in the Boston Garden at 4:30 o'clock.

Berg's major worry is the possible loss of pivot Pat McCornick due to illness. If McCormick can't play, Berg intends to start Tom Lombard, second high-scorer against Milton last week with ten points in only eight minutes of play. Ed Smith will alternate with Lombard from his left forward position.
