Freshmen 30 — Tufts 17

The fast-travelling Dartmouth yearlings took a swift basketball contest from the Tufts freshmen February 26, by a score of 30 to 17, with Watkins and Thurston starring for the Green. Thurston drew first blood in the first scrimmage, and the Hanover freshmen with that start gathered a total of six points before the Medford youngsters counted. The Tufts freshmen then livened up the contest with some fast passing and shooting and held the Green team to a 14 to 8 score for the period. Throughout the second half of the contest the Dartmouth freshmen displayed accuracy in shooting and a superior quality of play that kept them always well ahead. Watkins was responsible for 12 of the Dartmouth points and Thurston contributed a similar number. Evans of Tufts was the heavy scorer for the Medford boys, with IS points.

Freshmen 33 — Lowell 27

Dartmouth's freshman basketball tossers continued their winning streak March 6, when they downed the fast Lowell Textile five, 33-27.

Thurston was the high scorer for the home aggregation, with seven baskets from the floor and five free throws, while Miathews put up the best game for Lowell. The Green led at half-time by 19-11, but this lead was cut down to 4 points several times during the second half.
