Still, the Freshmen put up a good show before bowing. Captain Romer Holleran downed Yale's number one performer, Gayer Domenic, in straight games, 15-5, 15-7, 15-6.

Belafonte has developed a remarkable emotional pantomime to match the content of his songs. In John Henry, he hunches his tall, lithe body (6 ft. 2 in., 185 Ibs.) in a half crouch, knots his fists, launches into the verses with teeth clenched and a spasmodic toss of his head...
