By defeating Rensselaer Polytechnic l nstilule at Troy, N. Y., last Saturdny niuht by a Sl to 37 score, the n \\' .P.l. •--.sketball team ended 1'ts ...._ uu . son fr1r anotht>r year. It has been a magnificent season for Worcester which has taken 13 out of IS games played. The only losses were to Rhode Island State and Springfield College. The latter could have been rtvoickd, but the outcome of the Rhode Island game was, perhaps, inevitable. Out!lide of these two contests, Tech has been victorious over all, and usually by comfortable margins. Te<h 's clo~st win was the Boston University game last December which ended with a 54 to 52 100re. Tech made Its fine record notwithSliLnding the faclthat the team under-
wrnt a severe shake-up in the middle of the season at which time some of Its most valuable players were loet. Last Saturday's game was one of the rare occasions when Tech had to come up from behind to overtake an opponent . Rensselaer got off to a ftyi ta d .• looked d k r th .~~~ s rtt, abon IL t arh or d e n orces er ys as a s rong orne er held I . . B ense scor ng to a mammum. y lh e t arne ' the ha If was reac hed , T ech 's traditional rivals held a 23 to 21 lead. Then came the second half, and with it one of Tech's most remarkable scoring rallies of the season. Tech's incessant pounding of the R.PJ. defense as this half opened eventually took effect on the home team, which apparently had used up a wea.deal of its strength in the farsl half. Wbftl the ,visitors opened up with " fireman " tactiCS, the Ne~ ~ork team was unable to cope With at. The result was tfihat T~odh outscored R.P.I. in the ma1 pen 30 to J4. J ack Laffey, Tech's freshman for· ward, wa" the hero or the game, making a total of 16 points. Laffey, who showed promise at the opening of the season, has sh own his worth In the closing games a'l several times he has heen one of the top men in the scoring column. Second highest for Tech was Charlie . Schmit, _'he dribble artist , who t~lhed 12 ~1nt s. Bob Twitchell had eaght. Lune and Lanfgraf were hi~h for the Troy team, making nine pomt.s each.
