...depth at number two by almost losing to a weak Columbia player Saturday. He'll be playing number three against Harvard but Ripley is as good as most number two men and should win. At number four the Crimson's steady Doug Walter goes against Quaker captain Tom Eselroad...
...game began auspiciously. With two gone in Harvard's half of the first, Terry Bartolet and Tom Stephenson hit back-to-back singles. Tom Gilmor then stepped to the plate and hit a screaming drive through the box--just past the outstretched glove of the Quaker secondbaseman. Bartolet scored from third on the play. The joy was short-lived, however, as the Crimson's sloppy fielding becan to show and the Quakers picked up one run in the top half of the second, and took the lead in the top of the third...

When Penn took the floor again, they went into a freeze. Harvard's coach Floyd Wilson stubbornly denied basketball conventions and common sense; he refused to come out of his zone. Penn maintained possession until 1:20, when Bob Inman fouled Penn's high-scoring Sid Amira...
