Although he won't start, Pete Kelley, the team's number two scorer, should see considerable action. Wilson keeps Kelley on the bench during the opening tip-off in order to have him available to inject new life into the squad when the offense begins to sag.

Attempting to slow down the game by working carefully planned pattern plays, Tech managed to play as equals with Harvard for most of the first half. The Crimson gained a six-point lead six minutes after the tip-off on Gary B orchard's set shot from 15 feet out, but M.I.T. captain Dave Koch, maneuvering adeptly off the 1-3-1 offense plan, quickly erased the advantage...

Even more remarkable, the Maytag Co. of little Newton, Iowa, has withstood the churnings that have long since washed out most independent laundry-machine makers, now stands a strong second in the billion-dollar industry. Outstripped in sales only by Whirlpool Corp...
