Center Dave Coatsworth labored under the glass for 11 points while guard Tom Mannix rippled four jumpers from the corner, which is the A-1 shooting position for the hot-handed sophomore. The cagers were ahead by 42-32 toward the end of the half and the gap would have been bigger if not for the 27 turnovers Harvard committed during the course of the evening...
