Dartmouth worked the ball to pickering--a 6-3 bulldozer. He went up toward the basket and the shot ran into Hardy's out-stretched hands. In a quick reflex, the Harvard junior controlled the ball. Another foul, but Johnson missed the free-throw. In the scramble that followed, Hardy picked the ball off the floor and layed it in the basket with five seconds to go to clinch the game.

Starnes looked quickly at the clock; it showed 1 sec. left in the game. The final buzzer sounded, and Starnes glanced back toward the basket. At that instant-swish!-the ball dropped through...
