Tuesday night three white clergymen dined at a Negro restaurant in Selma. One of them was the Rev. James Reeb. Reeb, who was born in Casper, Wyo., was ordained a Presbyterian minister but converted to Unitarianism in 1959. A slight, energetic, hard-working man, father of four children, Reeb worked for four years at All Souls' Church in Washington, D.C., but he found parish work too limiting.

Villanova rates a slight edge because of its record of fine showings in this meet and its experience on the boards.

Yale's top player is their hotshot senior guard, Bob Trupin. The Elis have a slight height advantage over Harvard with their front line of 6-4 Rick Johnson, 6-5 Don Tayler, and 6-5 Tom McCaffrey. But the key to Yale's win over Harvard last weekend was the defensive play of guard Herb Broadfoot. The 6-0 junior crowded Sedlacek incessantly, preventing him from getting off his lighting-fast jump shot and holding him to a paltry nine points...
