Hindered by turnovers and inexperience, the slower Crimson found itself behind for most of the first quarter of play. Long-distance tallies by Tom Mannix and the aggressive inside shooting of Mark Harris kept the Crimson close, and with 7:25 in the half, Fine sank two free throws, putting the Harvard five ahead for the first time in the ballgame...
