...Tech clung to a slim lead, until the Crimson finally began hitting as a team. With M.I.T. ahead, 25 to 22, Harvard scored 12 straight points before the Engineers managed two free throws for the half-time 34 to 27 totals. Between them, in the last ten minutes of the half, Barnett and Harrington scored 18 of the Crimson's 26 points...

Late in the third quarter Salvaterra scored-still moving the hard way, through the middle of the line. But there was no time to catch up. All autumn long the Panthers had grown fat on heartstopping, last-half rallies. "This time," said Coach Michelosen as he looked at the 21-14 score, "we coughed up the ball once too often...
