FORDHAM CRUSHES

Ram Five Gains Easy Victory
on Burlington Court as
Fitzgerald Sets Pace

Special to THE Ne=w YorK TIMES.

BURLINGTON, Vt., Dec. 13—
Fordham’s speedy basketball tos-
sers ran away from the University
of Vermont tonight by the score of
44 to 24.

Vermont started with the zone
defense, which bothered the visitors
for two or three minutes, during
which Vermont took a 54 lead as
Captain Corley starred. Then Cap-| i
tain Fitzgerald of Fordham started
popping iong shots from out beyond
the zone defense and his’ team-
mates, Savage and Bobich followed
his example, running the score up
to 28 to 8 at the end of the first-
half.

Vermont. shifted to the man-to-
man defense at the opening of the
second half and the play speeded
up. Fitzgerald left the game after
running his individual points up to
10, giving other members of the
Rams’ squad an opportunity to
play.

Coach Kelleher substituted freely
toward the close of the game and
the Fordham team cvhich finished
was entirely different from that
which opened the game.

For Vermont, Corley was the high
scorer and the sparkplug of the
team, with Healy and Beauchemin
also shining.
