...only exciting note of an otherwise mundane contest. Harvard was ahead, 30 to 22, with 4:40 left in the first half; then Sedlacek hit a jumper from the circle, Bob Beller connected from the corner, and Jeff Grate sank a pair of foul shots, making the score 36-23.

His RCA Victor records sold so well that he called his place "The House That Victor Built...
