...Crimson defensive will be greatly strengthened this afternoon when B. H. Bassett '31 one of the best ground coverers in Harvard baseball returns to his position in centerfield. He will in all probability, lead off. J. D. Dudley '81 will once more do the backstop work. The rest of the Harvard lineup remains intact for today's crucial clash...

Nugent drew a walk in the first inning. E. H. McGrath '31 singled, and a passed ball which rolled into the Crimson dugout let them both in. A moment later when the catcher dropped his third...
