...Play was fast, furious, and rough, right from the start. The puck moved from one end of the ice to the other as fast and consistently as a tennis ball. Northeastern's goalie Gary Thornton looked unbeatable, and when Husky defenseman George Campbell scored from the point at 14:50 of the first period, few Harvard fans could see where a triumph could come from...
...usual, the most impressive thing was Davidson's technique. He plays with the high wrist and dangling fingers that you often see on Russian pianists. The sound is pretty percussive, and it is hard, with this technique, to be lyrical. But there is an ease on the fast pasages--the pianist gives the impression that he is gathering the keys rather than playing them--that is enviable. When Davidson was pushed from the opening contemplative mood in "Little Sun" to a driving one by his ever-energetic drummer, he began playing octaves in a hard and fast manner, getting that...
...seeing Gene Dressler was worth the drive to Worcester. Sportswriters have Iyricized over Williams' cat-like rhythms, but Dressler just bombs.

He steals balls and whips down court so fast the rest of the team has to lope to get into position for the famous shuffle offense. As the offense goes to work. Dressler seems to know exactly what the other four are doing; he spots openings, passes off, sets up scores...

...shooting continued to be red hot, and Harvard led 50-47 with 8:22 to play. In the next four minutes Sedlacek and Scott each scored four points, and the Crimson inched ahead 59-53 with 4:26 left. Then Dressler hit a jumper. Bob Beller scored on a fast break, Williams sank two foul shots, and Beller scored on a beautiful feed from Dressler. Harvard led, 67 to 53, and that was that...
