1:47 left, a traveling violation cost Harvard
the ball, and put Brown in the driver's seat.
A minute and two seconds later, Bruin Mike
Fahey stepped to the foul line in a bonus
situation and converted both free throws.
When Harvard missed a shot on its next
offensive effort and fouled again, Mike Fish-
man's free throw with 16 seconds left put the
Bears out of reach.
"I don't know when I've been so upset by
a loss," Wilson confided later. "I don't want
to take anything away from Brown. They did
a good job. But we didn't battle them out
there. We gave them too much." When the
Crimson came out for practice Monday after-
noon, Wilson put the team through "one of the
toughest practice sessions I've ever conducted,"
despite the fact that Dartmouth was coming
in the following night.
"Either we'll play good ball against Dart-
mouth, or we'll drop from fatigue" Wilson
said the morning of the game.
Harvard  had its difficulties against the
Indians, nevertheless. With Barry Williams
(Mt. Vernon, N. Y.), the team's leading re-
bounder sidelined by injury, McClung and
reserve John Scott (Evanston, Ill.) had to go
all the way in the front court. And with seven
minutes to go, Dartmouth trailed by only a
point and looked as if it had taken over con-
trol of the backboards.
That's when Scully took over to pull his
team through. Teaming with Sedlacek - and
feeding him effectively - the Crimson cap-
tain sparked a stretch drive that produced a
vital victory. Of Harvard's last 23 points,
Scully and Sedlacek scored 19. Scully's 10-
point stretch burst brought his total for the
night to 24 - high mark for his career, and
Sedlacek wound up with 28.
In addition to his point production, Scully
was credited with nine assists and six re-
bounds. He was 8 of 12 from the floor -
mostly on driving layups - and 8 of 10 from
the foul line.
Scully's performance left Wilson delighted.
"I've known that Leo was due for a big
night," the Crimson coach enthused. "I think
he'll add a lot more to our attack over the
second half of the season now that he's had
it."
One of Harvard's strengths has been the
balance in its offense. Four of the starters -
led by Sedlacek's 20 point average - are in
double figures for the season, and Scully
moved his up to 8.9 per game with the Dart-
mouth performance.
The Crimson has nine Ivy dates ahead -
five of them against the contenders and three
of those on the road. "I think we can pull an
upset or two," Wilson says, "but we have to
win our games against Columbia, Brown and
Yale (2) if we want that fourth place spot."

TRACK
Harvard's powerful track team rolled over
two more foes in January, but Coach Bill Mc-
Curdy is still unable to view his world through
Crimson colored glasses.
As the major tests of the season hove into
view, McCurdy foresees a stiff challenge from
Northeastern  in the Greater Bostons which
Harvard hosts Feb. 12 and 13, and believes
that the Heptagonal meet will probably develop
into another life-and-death struggle with Navy
just as it did a year ago.
"We still need more development behind our
top men," McCurdy says - "particularly in the
running events. We're still thin in the distance
and middle distances."
But at the same time he recognizes the prob-
lem, McCurdy holds out some hope for help.
"Sam Robinson (Macon, Ga.) and Mike Hauck
(Harrow, Eng.) are starting to come in the
600," he believes, "and Jim Smith (Nashville,
Tenn.) is starting to develop into a more solid
performer in the mile. I'm not discouraged at
all. I'm just waiting to see what happens."
There were some heartening developments in
the field events as the Crimson beat Boston
College, 74-35, and Brown, 72-37, in its Janu-
ary tests.
Sophomore Njoku (Lagos, Nigeria) won the
high jump against B.C., clearing the 6 ft. 6 in.
mark, and he appears ready to give solid sup-
port to junior Chris Pardee (Coral Gables,
Fla.).
Pardee, who is nursing a tender ankle, went
no higher than 6-6 himself in January after
clearing 6-9 earlier in the year.
Sophomore Harvey Thomas (Darien, Conn.)
brought home his first blue ribbon in the broad
jump, taking first place against Brown with a
leap of 22 ft. 6%/ in. that indicates he may
be capable of capturing some points in the
championship events ahead.
And although he didn't place, sophomore
Paul Choquette (White Plains, N.Y.) launched
his varsity career in the shot put with a 48 ft.
plus effort, and there's a thought that he can
reach the 50 foot level before the season comes
to an end. Choquette's debut was delayed be-
cause of a knee injury suffered in the Brown
football game last November.
The biggest "development" of the month,
however, was undoubtedly supplied by senior
George   Winters  (Kenduskaeg,   Me.),  who

cleared the 13-foot mark in the pole vault. "He's
really coming along," says field events coach Ed
Stowell - "and I can't recall anything in my
coaching experience that has given me any
more pleasure."
What trouble Harvard had in January came
in the areas in which McCurdy has voiced con-
cern.
Against Boston College, the Crimson won
nine of the 13 events on the program, losing
only the 600, 1,000 and both relays. The 600
provided a blistering duel between B.C.'s Bob
Gilvey and Keith Chiappa (Spanish Point, Ber-
muda), both of whom bested the Briggs Cage
record for the distance. Gilvey won in 1:12.8,
with Chiappa timed in 1:12.9. In the 1,000
Chiappa finished second to Paul Delaney's 2:19
performance.
Brown carried a string of 10 consecutive dual
meet victories into its test with the Crimson,
but was able to win only two events against
McCurdy's well-balanced machine. With Chiappa
sitting out the 1,000 on the eve of the K. of C.
meet, Bruin Dick Baglow finished a second
ahead of sophomore Charles Redman (Highland
Park, Ill.) in 2:19.9. And the Crimson dropped
the two mile relay again.
Walt Hewlett (Palo Alto, Calif.) made a
surprise start in the two mile against the Bruins
and ran away to an easy victory in 9:22.8.
Hewlett had been nursing a heavy cold which
prevented him from running in the K. of C.
meet. And Pardee also missed the Garden event
because of his tender ankle.
Although the Crimson trackmen didn't write
any headlines with their performances in the
K. of C. meet, there were some encouraging
developments, nevertheless.
Ubiquitous Aggrey Awori (Kampala, Ugan-
da), finished fourth in three events: the hurdles,
dash, and broad jump, and wasn't beaten by a
collegian in any of the three. In the dash, he
met and beat both of Villanova's sprinters -
Marshall Uzzle and Earle Horne.
In the Eddie Farrell 500, Robinson finished
second to Crimson Freshman Jeff Huvelle (see
Freshman Report), but in the process nipped
Yale's Henry Cole, third place finisher in last
Spring's Hep. 440.
