Basketball Season Begins Tonight

The Crimson basketball team will inaugurate its 1965 season at 8 p.m. tonight in the IAB against New Hampshire.

This will be one of the few games this year in which Harvard players won't have to crane their necks to see the opposing team. New Hampshire, like the Crimson, suffers from a lack of height. The tallest man on their quintet is 6-5 center Steve Seay.

The Wildcats' forwards are 6-1 Tom Horne and 6-3 Randy Daniels. With such an unsizeable front court, New Hampshire's opponents snared about 14 more rebounds per game than the Wildcats last season. And New Hampshire was outscored 13 points per game.

New Hampshire has apparently looked good in pre-season scrimmages, but they probably won't be able to cope with the Crimson's accurate shooting and the rebounding ability of Barry Williams.

Tonight's contest will be one of only two Crimson home games before the Christmas vacation. After playing at Holy Cross and Northeastern, Harvard will last Williams on December 11.
