Banking on a 1-in-64 Shot

The Basketball Notebook

In the J.C. department, the honors are beginning to flow in for the Crimson's senior co-captain.

Carrabino, Harvard's all-time leading scorer, was yesterday named to the Basketball Writers Association of America's District I All-Star Team.

That team includes 10 players from the New England, Pennsylvania and West Virginia areas.

Meanwhile, the Academic All-American is beginning to rewrite the Harvard record book.

Carribino, a shoo-in to become only the second player in Harvard history to repeat as a first-team All-Ivy selection, is averaging 21.3 points per game so far this season. That would place him fourth on the Crimson single season scoring list, behind only Fitzsimmons, Keith Sedlacek and himself.

Carrabine--who has scored in double figures 45 straight games--holds third place on that list with a 22.0 average.

What's more, the 6 ft., 9-in Encino, Calif, native has 600 field foals to date, closing in on Fleming's record of 702.

Last year's Ivy League Player of the Year, Carrabino is also within reach of Keith Sedlacek's career mark of 18.3 points per game.

For his career, Carrabino is averaging 18.1 points per game.

Finally, Carrabino still hasn't missed a free throw in the final five minutes of a game in more than a year. The last time he missed one was Feb. 3, 1984 at Columbia.

Since then he's made 62 straight in the final five minutes of all contests.

Carrabino currently has 1835 career points. Only three players in Ivy League history have scored 1900 or more, and only two of those have broke the magical 2000 barrier.

Yale's Ton, Lavelli (1945-1949) was one of the three to score 900.
