Bob Ferry now leads the nation in free-throw shooting, vaulting from fourth last week with a 6-for-6 performance against Penn and Princeton. Junior Joe Carrabino--pacing the cagers with a 20.6 points-per-game average--also moved up in the rankings from sixth to fifth. Sophomore Arne Duncan rounds out the leaders at number 22 with an 85.4 percent average.

In team free-throw shooting, Harvard's first in the country with .817 (420-514) from the line. In addition to Ferry, Carrabino and Duncan, the rest of the Crimson regulars have also been outstanding--every cager with over 300 minutes is shooting .724 or better.
