...victory was a fairly auspicious start to the Crimson's season. New Hampshire is no titan of the hoop world, to be sure, but Harvard shot well and committed surprisingly few ball-handling errors for an early-season game. And coach Floyd Wilson seems to have come up with a couple of good players in sophomore Bob Beller and George Neville...
...that it had a fantastic bounce. But Bettis Co. was not interested, mostly because the ball tended to fall apart after five minutes. So Stingley took it to Wham O Manufacturing Co. in San Gabriel, Calif., the company that made juvenile history by producing the Frisbee and the Hula-Hoop.
