Bert's Boys Victory number one of the season was chalked up against the Scranton J-Vs, 32-28, in a game marked by rough play. Heavner was high man with 13 points. The Scranton game was followed by successive los::;es to State Tech, 41-39; Cornell J-Vs, ~1-34; and the Syracuse frosh, 75-44. The Orange men, sparked by sensational John Kiley, proved to be the Green and White's toughest opponent all season. The opening round of the "Battle of the Exten– sion Schools" was won by TCC, when they edged out Utica CoJlege, 62-~8, on the Vestal High hardwood. TCC grabbed an early lead but had to fight off a strong Utica rally in the dosing moments of the game. Playing at Wilkes College, the Colonials were nudged out, 34-28. Then followed defeats by Ithaca Frosh again, 53-46, the undefeated Syracuse Frosh, 101 Two Points 70-24, and the Cornell J-Vs, 68-52. Against Cornell, the locals found themselves without the services cf Powell, but nevertheless, managed to stay on even terms with-the "Big Red" until the final quarter. The bad breaks which seemed to plague the squad all season reappeared in the second Scranton game, when the Miners won out in the dosing seconds of the game, 35-33, after TCC led all the way. Swish!
