There have been earthy peasant Joans (Siobhan McKenna) and eternal-child Joans (Julie Harris). At a guess, Director Douglas Campbell or Actress Geer conceived of the saint as tomboy.

Harvard suffered its first defeat of the afternoon when Steve Astor (147) lost to Tag Geer, 5 to 2. After the Crimson lost in the 167 and 177-pound divisions, the varsity's early 12-3 lead, piled up on wins by Tony Woodfield (123), George Doub (130), and Bob Kolodney (157), was seriously threatened...
