For the race to end in four
way deadlock, Penn would have to
beat Princeton at Philadelphia
and Harvard would have to whip
Yale at Cambridge Saturday.
Penn over Princeton is a
definite possibility although the
Nassau cagers have won their
last six games, but Yale should
walk over Harvard which hasn't
won once in II league games.
Sophomore John Azary was the
big gun for Columbia at New
Haven. He was the games high
scorer with 18 points and he held
his man. All-America Tony

Princeton had it easy against
Harvard, taking an early lead and
never losing it. Harvard closed
to within two points midway of
the first half, but never had a
look-in after the second half
started. Cliff Kurrus of Princeton
was high man with II points.

But these three are all in the
