...game, and despite Coleman's double-double, Harvard's inexperience showed. At times, four freshmen, including center Onnie Mayshak and guard Brady Merchant, were on the floor. Yale's Onija Woodbine laid 28 points down on the Crimson in a 69-61 Bulldog victory. The next night, Brown guard Earl Hunt put 39 points on the decimated Crimson defense in a 78-68 Bear...

Swing boasted Duke Ellington, Earl Hines and Count Basie, the rarest of rarities--magnanimous men within a democracy. The same men were largely dependent on that democracy for their nobility.
