Harvard completely dominated the foil contest, with sophomore Eugene Vastola and co-captain John Major both turning in perfect 3-0 performances, and Eric Mandelbaum holding out for an impressive 2-1 contribution.

The depth of this cast is suggested by the presence of the veteran contralto Carol Brice, a regular on the concert scene since the 1940s, in the minor role...
