The game was played at
Victors Sub F reely The second half was much the same story as the rusaders continued to dazzle the Hilltoppers with a com bination of speed and passing. The Blue and Gold, however, began to click all through the half, bul never threa tened to overtake their opponents. It took five minutes more before Trin scored a basket, the score being 50-1 . At this point the Crusaders decided that the game wa as good as won and substituted freely. The Holy Cross subs, however, continued where the first stringers left off. Hitting for ba ket after basket, they never gave an inch. Experience was a telling factor in the game, a nd uch greats as Cousy, O'Shea, and Oftring were no match for the efforts of the Hill toppers. Watson Scores 16 Ronnie Watson was the big gun for the Blue and Go ld. Scoring six fie ld goals and four fouls for a total of 16 points, he was high scorer for Trinity. Jachens, Trin guard, was the next highest scorer for the Bantams. He scored nine points on four field goals and one foul shot. Jachens played a consistently good game all evening. Although he scored only two points, football tar Sam akaso came through with some brilliant passing which took some of the glitter from Cousy. As soon a Sam came in the team began to click. He is the play maker of the team and reminds one somew hat of Dick' McGuire, former St. John's star and now with the pro fessional ew York Knickerbocker . Also playing well were co-captain Pitkin, a good rebound man, Larry Hutnick, and Jim Curtin. Of Cousy, there are no words which can fittingly describe the quality of his play. Ray Oo ting, Trin coach, was quoted as saying, "The greatest player I have ever seen a nywhere." Trinity's next home conte t is with Bates this Friday in the F ield House. A Frosh game with Lester Junior College precedes the main contest, with a near-capacity crowd expected. The box score:
