...from Tennessee and nicked the delivery of Willard Howard '28 for 11 hits on the Soldiers Field diamond yesterday, it could not win the ball game. Four hits, only two of which counted in the scoring, was the extent of the damage done by the University batsmen to Creson, the visiting hurler, yet they took the laurel crown at the end of the proceedings by a score...
Henry Chauncey '28 regular backstop of the Harvard aggregation, still leads the vanguard of the batsmen, although his figure took a 13 point plunge during the week's play. A lone single was the total of his activities with the ash in the Georgetown tilt, and he failed to hit against Colgate. At Providence, I. R. Duchin '27 took his place behind...

Duchin '27, inserted into the Providence game in place of Chauncey when Smith's left-handed shoots proved too much for the regular backstop, got his first hit of the season by blasting out a triple with two men on bases. Zarakov's hit, already noted, brought that game into the Crimson's winning column. Chauncey, batting for Duchin in the final inning...
