Coach Floyd Wilson will start Keith Sedlacek, Barry Williams, Merie McClung, Leo Scully, and Gene Dressler as usual. Harvard should win if they shake off the effects of Saturday's catastrophic loss to Cornell, and if McClung and Williams rebound effectively against the Dartmouth giants. But the blissful days are gone when the Dartmouth game was no more taxing than an inter-squad scrimmage...

...Engineers' most critical liability in lack of height. Center Bill Nims (6-6) in the only W.I.P. starter taller than 6-1. The Crimson's Merio McClung and Barry Williams should dominate the backboards with ease. Top scorer for W.P.I. is guard Don Lutz, who is averaging about 16 points a game...
