"He sure waited long enough," Roby joked later. "He had us scared over there."

Webster, meanwhile, moved into seventh place on Harvard's all-time scoring list with his 21-point effort. The Monroe, Conn., native closed out his Crimson career with 1093 points.

"I'm happy for Web and Arne that they will go into the record books," Roby said. "I know that individual achievements don't mean much to them, but at least when people look back at Harvard basketball they will see that these two were among the greats."

Webster and Duncan, at least, are now free to move from a monotonous English lesson into history.

THE NOTEBOOK: Harvard was forced to wear its JV uniforms after a number of the varsity road outfits were stolen following last weekend's game at Cornell. Duncan was forced from his usual 42 into number 40...The Crimson rebounded to shoot 54.3 percent from the floor in the second half but still finished at 42 percent for the game...Kyle Dodson played only nine minutes in the game and sat out the entire second half with a bad knee bruise.
