Ralty Falls Short

Princeton made one serious threat early in the fourth period. Trailing 64 to 40, they whittled Harvard's lead to 68-57 in two minutes. At this point Bradley drove in and bucketed a dazzling layup, which would have out the lead to nine, but the All-American was called her charging and the two points nullified Van Breda Kelff had conniptions on the sideline, and the look in Bradley's eyes meet have resembled the expression of the Boston Strangler when he has a nylon stocking in his hand.

The debatable call deflated Princeton's rally, and Harvard opened the lead to 72-00 in short order, then sailed home. Van Breda Kolff conceded defeat with two minutes to play by removing Bradley, and the Crimson closed the game using its second team, as Princeton shaved the margin to six points.

Tonight Harvard will try to hold on to its share of the Ivy lead against Penn. The Quakers are tough, and their fast-breaking brand of offence is the type which gives the Crimson headaches.

Penn has a well-balanced attack featuring 6-2 Stan Pawlak, who is averaging 16-9; fiery, sharp-shooting guard Ray Carazo; Jeff Neuman, a smooth back-court man who can dribble the ball between his legs; and John Hellings, a (gulp) 6-3 sophomore center.

The Crimson's performance last night could have thrown a fright into any team in the country; this evening against Penn the Key problem will be to avoid the effects of a let-down. At any rate, they'd better leave those extra 300 seats up in the IBA. Harvard basketball may have won quite a few converts yesterday
