Coach Harrison was elated. His fast break offense had come alive in the second half and Chris Gallagher, Hardy, and Bob Kanuth had crashed the boards skillfully. Concerned about the Christmas layoff, he sent his team home with orders to practice daily and to report back to Cambridge by Christmas night...
Harvard beat Loyola for third place behind Gustavson. Dover, and Hardy. The first ten minutes of this game saw the Crimson's fast break functioning brilliantly, spiced by deadly outside shooting and tough rebounding. If the description sounds somewhat overdone, well, you had to see it to believe...

No matter how hard and fast the geneticists try to work, it may take years to find the answer...

If the speed limit were raised to 150 m.p.h., however, the number of passengers would jump 65% on the former and 18% on the latter...
