...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...
...Penn's a good, strong team," Shepard reports. However, Quaker coach Jack McCloskey has had weather problems earlier this year, and was unable to get his team out-of-doors as early as he would have liked. This may help to account for the 6-1 trouncing that Penn received at the hands of the Midshipmen on their Southern stint. On the other hand, Navy is a leading contender for the EIBL crown this year and is undefeated to date...
Kick the Wind.

White, an urbane Yaleman and sometime history professor. White dreamed of giving New York one great land-grant college of such broad learning that it would teach everything from art to agriculture. The idea shocked conservative Easterners, who thought of college as mainly for God and Greek. But Cornell rammed it through the legislature, chipping in $500,000 and his own 300-acre farm...

The Quaker's Dave Robinson, who proved to be Penn's sparkplug for the game, led the early drive with his inside shooting and rugged rebounding. He was aided by the steady outside scoring from forward Ray Carazo...
Finally, with 3:40 left to play, after the score had remained 55-54 in favor of Penn for two sloppy minutes, Quaker coach Bob McCloskey called a time out. 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...
