In overpowering New England College UMP broke the team scoring mark by pouring 114 points through the netting. Teaming in individual record smashing performances were Capt. Bob Francouer and season long standout Rollie Gagne. Francouer caged 37 points , eclipsing the individual scoring mark for one game. Meanwhile hustling guard Gagne wa s setting a mark for most points s cored in one season as he netted 26 for a season total of 301.
