Keith Sedlacek led the Crimson scoring against Fordham with 19 points. Barry Williams had 13, and Rhodes scholar Merle McClung added nine points to the Harvard total.
The scholarships were established in the will of Cecil Rhodes, British statesman and financier in South Africa. He directed his trustees to set up two groups of scholarships, one for the British colonies and one for the United States.
Harvard students won seven of the 32 Rhodes Scholarships announced Dec. 20 by Courtney C. Smith '38, American secretary of the Rhodes Scholarships and president of Swarthmore College.
Alan J. Gayer, a first year student in the School of Arts and Sciences, and Thomas B. Stoel, a third year student in the Law School, also received Rhodes Scholarships.
Each Rhodes Scholar receives $2500 a year for two years of advanced study at Oxford University.
