Fencers Larry Cetrulo and Tom Keller, basketball forward Floyd Lewis, and hockey captain Joe Cavanagh each were selected to their respective league All-Star teams over the weekend...

What about the team itself? Don't they have a right to feel ten times worse than we? For once Harvard seemed a good bet to win the NCAA's, and the Crimson had to fly home with nothing more than a fourth. For 13 years Joe Cavanagh and Dan DeMichele had been linemates. At Syracuse they were within reach of a great climax. Then it all ends, all 13 years of it, when DeMichele gets a quick thumb from the referee at 12:14 of the first period after fighting with Denver's Brian Morenz. Think of DeMichele skating...
Inevitably, the second period followed, and a seemingly overconfident Harvard team had lost its edge. Within three minutes Riley and Doug Elliott drew penalties, and the Crimson was at a two-man disadvantage. Outstanding penalty-killing by Joe Cavanagh, Dave Jones, and Andy Burnes held Minnesota scoreless, however...

The game was tied again...
