John Havens, the Crimson's number two man, and Clark Bain at eight finished first, and the scoreboard read Harvard 3, Yale 3. Havens outsted bulldog Tony Sanders, 3-1, despite being hit in the leg by by a squash ball, hampering his already limited mobility from knee troubles. Bain dropped his contest, 1-3, to Jim McBurney...

And things looked even grimmer after both Davis and Carter sank a pair of free throws to put the score at 75-69 with 40 seconds left...
