When Harvard's basketball team meets Brown in the LAB tonight, its almost a certainty that the Crimson will end its five-game losing streak against the hapless Bruins.
When the two teams met in Providence last month, the Crimson quintet coasted to a 76-56 victory, and since then Brown has lost one of its leading scorers because of academic difficulties. The Bruins have won a lone Ivy game all season--over Dartmouth by four points. The mind boggles at the thought of the type of performance Harvard would have to turn in to lose to Brown.
Driscoll Is Star
Actually, the Bears have one good player: 5-10 guard Fran Driscoll, who is averaging 13 points per game. Driscoll is an excellent ball handler with a deadly outside jump shot. Height is the only asset of the rest of the Brown squad. Three men are 6-5 or taller, but none of them can shoot.
The Crimson, embedded in sixth place in the Ivy League, will start its usual quintet: Bob Inman, Barry Williams, Merle McClung, Keith Sedlacek, and Leo Scully. For Harvard, tonight's game is little more than a tuneup for tomorrow's big contest with Yale. Yale is in a tie with Penn for second place in the Ivy League.
