There were some secondary questions in the minds of the fans. One was: How many different and flashy ways could the B.C. five invent to score a basket? Another was: Would Harvard even reach the 50 mark?
And B.C. scored in so many entrancing ways. Donovan, with a two-hand set, and occasionally, with one of the few two-hand jump shots around, struck from the outside. Hooley and the mountainous Quinn dominated the boards. Power, Hooley, and Donovan engineered the Eagles' fast break.
Late in the game, when the Eagles had exhausted all the conventional ways of scoring. Power and Chuck Chevalier, who tallied only two points but certainly earned his keep, took over. Power fed Quinn with a nifty behind the back pass to put B.C. over 50.
Then Chevalier drew the loudest cheer of the night for a driving layup during which he passed the ball behind his back twice. Later, he huried an overhand pass through a cluster of people under the basket to set up an easy two points for Ward.
