Minus the services of Jerry Murphy, sharp-shooting first string forward, the freshman basketball team will face Boston College at 3 p.m. today in the Indoor Athletic Building. B.C. will be the toughest opposition Lloyd Harper's men have had to cope with since they played Holy Cross on December 6.
Next to Holy Cross, the B.C. freshmen are the best in New England. They lost their first encounter with H.C. in an overtime period and dropped their second game with the Crusaders by a mere three points whereas the Crimson lost to the same team, 68 to 34.
