Walker leads Friars in last Holiday Festival at Garden
Providence College star Jim Walker headlines the final Holiday Festival at Madison Square Garden as Providence faces Duquesne in the opening game. Brigham Young, Northwestern, St Joseph's, Rhode Island, and St Bonaventure also compete in a two day doubleheader, with the event concluding Friday. Walker's 1965 final performance of 50 points stands as a Garden classic, while Oscar Robertson and Bob Cousy figures loom in the background. The festival marks the last at the old Garden before the new arena opens next year.
