              the bee the greater university of buffalo weekly no 13 vol 12 university of buffalo january 8 1932 nationally famous radio orchestra secured for prom bulls go on road to battle clarkson and st lawrence monk levine is benched stiff battle expected tonight the bulls of buffalo will endeavor to start a new winning streak when they encounter the en gineers of clarkson tech at potsdam and to follow it up saturday night against st lawrence at canton these teams both lost to the bulls last year by not too much of a score and a stiff battle is expected on both occasions powell expressed the opin ion that the team would be doing well to win one of the games there is also a strong possibility that the starting line-up will be changed with tommy syracuse playing at monk levine's forward post and pellicano covering tommy's guard position in lieu of the fact that levine has been getting tough breaks and a rest on the bench may put back some of the old pep he started the season with then on tuesday january 13 the bulls will stack up against a strong veteran niagara quintet which de feated cornell also but bowed re cently to st john's and manhattan college the old rivalry will no doubt crop up again and niagara will be at its best as is always the case when the monteagle ridge bas keteers play the bulls at any rate these three games will prove whether the bulls have the old comeback stuff if they get past them all victoriously chances are better than even that they can finish the rest undefeated let's see if we can work up enough vocal support at the niagara game to rival the spirit of the old g m f which was a large factor in the vic tories of the bulls in days of yore painting explained to women's club by arts student the women's club is continuing to carry out

december 18 1931 is a memorable landmark in u b history as being the date of the decisive shattering of the home team's 28 game winning streak by a brilliant yale team by the score of 36-21 the bulls had an off-night in every department making only five of 17 free throws passing with less than ordinary accuracy and missing many more floor shots than usual the score was 17-13 in yale's favor at the half but in the second half there was no doubt that yale made a decidedly superior showing the elis had an on night and were quick to recognize it capitalizing on every possible chance to the faculty
