Fighting desperately, the Crimson yearlings fought back at their Green rivals during the second half, overcoming a 16-7 lead. With the aid of exceptional passing and outstanding guarding, the Harvard team sank shot after shot, boosting their score to a 20-18 lead at the end of the third period.
Fine shooting by J. g. Grady '36 and G. V. Comfort '36 kept the Crimson immune from Dartmouth attacks until the last minute of the game when the Green went ahead, 27-26. Then with ten seconds to play, R. H. smith '36 dropped the winning basket after a beautiful pass from R. C. Ernst '36.
