Well, by now the ice is all resurfaced, and the official scorer sounds this automobile horn to bring the teams out of their dressing rooms. Hart and I go downstairs to watch Tech and its coach, Bob Martell, with whom both Hart and I have had disagreements, hurry by. There's Kenny Cusack, number five; and Freddy, Freddy Ahern, the star, number six: Jimmy Riley, Chucky Carrigan. Dee Conroy, all of them stomp by their mouths set, walking up the passageway and Conroy, the goalie, steps onto the ice and the Tech stands explode...

Junior guard Dale Dover, who became the tenth leading scorer in Harvard basketball history with 14 tallies tonight, then scored a three-point play on a fast-break lay-up, Newmark tallied another lay-up, Bozek hit a jump shot, and the Crimson was back in the game...
