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. In the sixth position, Phil Stevens, usually the Crimson's eight man, took a surprising 3-1 victory, and George Blake, three notches about his usual level in the seventh slot, also won 3 to 1.

...high point of the Dunces' efforts achieve their hopes: Winter is the Time to Snow your Girl, by member Erich Segal, is light, like a boyishly risque Deck the Halls: "Nothing could be gayer, than to one-horse-open-sleigh her." Hound (dog) has as much rock, and more down-to-earthiness than Mr. Presley's. Soloist Bill Gurton captures the true flavor of America's adolescent subculture, though the record does not convey his physical talents...
