...John Yovicsin was faced with the most urgent reconstruction task of his 11-year tenure, the Crimson surprised him by going undefeated and sharing the Ivy title with Yale.

Walter Trampler was superb throughout the Dvorak. There was an evident feeling for the ebb and flow of the beautiful melodies, lines which sing and soar over the often complex texture of this magnificent quintet. The new quality in their playing was the ability to sustain an idea to its conclusion. The "Dumka" section...
