Dale Hall, a former All- American at West Point, and a member of the immortal Davis- Blanchard-Tucker backfield the Black Knights once boasted, took over the hoop reigns. Dale got the court up early, and with the help of three freshmen, the Wildcats finished up with an 11-9 record, capturing third place in the Yankee Conference, behind Connecti­ cut and Rhode Island. The highlight of the campaign was a stunning 66-60 win over Rhode Island on the field house boards, the first New Hampshire win over the Rams since 1936. Autumn Nocturne But in the fall the sports fan’s fancy turns to football. A year ago, after defeating Brandeis in that school’s first varsity football game, the Cats had their two-year winning streak snapped at nine, as Rhode Island swamped them, 27-0. The Durhamites tied Maine, defeated Springfield, Tufts, and Vermont, lost in the snow at Con­ necticut, and then proceeded to play their best football of the year as they defeated powerful Kent State in Ohio, 7-0. $ M - n e t f This fall, we think, will bring an interesting brand of football to Durham. Thirteen three-year veterans are gone, and the schedule is one of the most rugged in history. The overall record now stands at 185 wins, 182 losses, and 38 ties. The accent is now on youth, with a big part of the job to be done resting on sophomore shoulders- shoulders devoid of varsity experience. Chief Boston’s only comment is that it will be an “interesting” team to watch.
