"No," replied Cingiser. "It was me, and I played on two of those teams."
Modest folks at Brown.
Butter Fingers: Harvard's Ralph James made a strong last-ditch effort for Ivy Player of the Year with his performance against the Elis Saturday.
The Junior forward tallied 29 points, including 18 in the second half when the Crimson scrambled back from an 11-point deficit to take a two-point lead with two-and-a-half mintues remaining in the game. At one point in the second half, James had converted seven straight field goals, including a prayer shot which was blocked by Dean Campbell and which he still managed to underhand into the basket.
But James did his fair share to contribute to the first half deficit, committing six turnovers en route to a game total of nine of Harvard's 29 turnovers. Several of James' miscues simply involved the ball slipping right through his fingers.
And Player of the Year may have slipped through his fingers as well.
Thanks to You, B.U.: It's been a long season for all, but none have had it longer than the members of the sports information staff who helped make it much shorter for us.
Many thanks to Sports Information Director John Veneziano for his undying patience and many enthusiastic hours discussing the prospects for this year's Crimson. B.U.'s loss is our gain.
And thanks to Assistant SID Tim Bonang, who was riding an impressive winning streak earlier in the year when he did the book. Too bad it didn't carry through to Hartford, but you'll be there anyway. Enjoy it for us.
