Basketball at GradSchool: Former Stars Still Sparkle

Former Harvard basketball stars don't just fade away, they go on to graduate school and play in the graduate school leagues. At least that's what such greats as Keith Sedlacek, Bob Inman, Leo Scully, and Frank Martin have done.

They are members of the Harvard Inceptors, a collection of about twenty graduate students who have combined to produce the University's most successful basketball team. During the past season the Inceptors won three tournaments against semi-professional and amateur competition.

In February the Inceptors won the Huntington Y-League Tournament. Last week they finished their season with a victory in the Greater Boston League Championships. But their biggest win came in the Plymouth Invitational Tournament, where they defeated twenty other teams from all over New England.

Law or Business

All of the Inceptors are members of either the Law School Intramural League or the Business School Intramural League. The Law School League, under the direction of law student Bruce Jeffer, is composed of fifty teams divided into five leagues. The Business School League is somewhat smaller. Both leagues also draw on the talents of basketball players from the other graduate schools.

Even with the Inceptors' success, the two intramural leagues remain the most important part of the program, and Jeffer has bigger plans for them. He has organized the first annual Harvard Intramural Basketball Tournament, which will begin a week from today to determine the Harvard University champion.

In addition to the Law and Business School Champions, all star teams from those leagues, a Harvard College all star team, and a Harvard Freshman all star team will participate. Jeffer has also invited teams from the graduate school at M.I.T. and B.U. to compete.
