Water-Polo May Go Under Next Year As Athletic Department Budget Drops

Sports of the 'Crime'

The other teams at the tournament were all chauffered by bus to the tournament and stayed in the hotels surrounding Yale.

Of the eight teams at the tournament, Harvard was seeded last and opened the tournament against first seeded Yale. Yale defeated the Crimson. 8-5.

In their second game, Harvard unended Army, this year's defending Eastern Champion, 8-7. Freshman Dan Daiss scored a goal in the last 55 seconds of the game to beat the favored Army team. A fine defensive effort by the Crimson made the difference in the game.

MIT Defeated

Led by Peter Kellogg's five goals, the Crimson downed MIT, 10-7, in the final game of the tournament. One week before, the Engineers had routed Harvard, 18-7, while winning the New England Championships.

Harvard finished the tournament with a 2-1 record, but because of a ruling of the tournament, no team could finish higher than fifth if they lost their first game.

"During the Yale game, it was practice and lack of a coach that made the difference. I believe that if we were given the chance to get in more practice and we had a coach, that we could have beaten Yale. Man for man, I think we have the better team," Graff said.

Graff added, "The guys all want to keep the team going on their own, but I'm afraid that unless we get some help from the University, we just won't make it."
