Undefeated basketball teams are as scarce as unpunetured dreams of an A exam average, and at Harvard they are non-existent. Coach Moo Berg's freshman club, however, has shot itself to the happy end of a six to one record in an every increasing erescendo of top-heavy scores. Dunced only once, and then by unbeaten Boston College 49 to 35 on a Crimson off-night, the Yardlings have copped triumphs over loudly-heralded quintets from Holy Cross, Brown, and Tufts.

Height tipped the initial victories into the Freshman's laps, but then came B.C. Yardling long shots went wild, and long, lumbering legs were not enough to smuggle the quintet under the tight opponent's defense. A sorry lack of rush in the freshman offense became obvious in this tearful Garden debut.

Berg has since infused speed into the Yardling attack. Jim Gabler, John Pankey, and Dave Skinner have all run escort for their taller teammates, Ed Smith, Pat McCormick, and John Lombardy, lending much needed balance to the Crimson advance.

Pankey, aggressive like the flu virus, and Skinner, inexperienced but good when he is on, have been like adrenalin to the rangy quintet. Slow hoofed Gabler has set fire to fast-break plays by his quick deceptive passing.

Berg plans one more transfusion for the forward line before officially declaring it cured. Ace guard Fred Wegner will start in an attack position in the spring term opener against Tabor Academy. Berg hopes to be able to settle down for the long siege of top notch quintets which follow one another on the second team agenda.

What does the crystal ball hold for the optimistic Freshmen? The two easy openers with Tabor Academy and Penn Character raise the spring curtain on an Exeter home-and-home series. Andover, Brown, Dartmouth, Northeastern, and Yale in quick doses.

Good Prop School Fives

Exeter and Andover can be counted on for the best in Prep School competition. Lack of long banes of exams and reading periods which knock the glue out of extensively polished techniques give the school boys team work and condition.

Brown boasts a completely redecorated quintet since their nudging by the Crimson 54 to 48 earlier in the season. Their attack, reupholstered with Hill House High stars, blitzed Holy Cross by 56 to 34, a score ten points higher than the Crimson copped from the Cross.
