Harvard's basketball team beat Holy Cross for the first time in 35 years Saturday, by a score of 76 to 67 in Worcester Auditorium. The game contained some ominous portents for the Crimson's future, but the story of the victory was a magnificent performance by guard Gene Dressler, who seems to have matured into a first-class ballplayer...
...Dressler scored 19 points, with seven for fourteen from the floor and five for six from the foul line. The 5-11 guard grabbed eight rebounds and made nine assists, turning in an almost flawless performance. Keith Sedlacek did his usual excellent job of shooting, scoring 21 points, and George Neville looked fine in the backcourt...

...Dressler played a superb game, hitting 7 of 14 shots and constantly harrassing the New Hampshire offense. Beller was five-for six; he has extremely quick moves, and was able to drive effectively through the Wildcats' defense...
