Today the 1921 nine will go to Phillips Andover Academy to meet the hard-hitting preparatory school team. Judging from previous scores of the two teams, the game should develop into a batter's contest, with the Freshmen holding a slight advantage over their opponents. C. B. Butterfield, who will be in the box for the yearlings, is a batter pitcher than either Martin or Hale, one of whom will probably start for Andover...
...comparison of scores of the four games played by both nines this season, Yale will be the favorite to win when they meet the University on Soldiers Field tomorrow afternoon in the first baseball contest between the two universities since June, 1916. But on the other hand, the University has encountered far stronger opposition than the Elis in the three service nines of the Portland Naval Reserve, the Boston Navy Yard, and Camp Devens. Princeton, the only nine both teams have met, was defeated in each case by a close score...
...University nine met its third setback of the season yesterday at the Ayer cantonment when Camp Devens won a 5 to 1 contest. The game was called after the University had batted in the sixth inning to allow the Devens spectators and players to reach their quarters in time for mess...

All of the CRIMSON runs were earned; the Lampoon quota was merely lent to them for the afternoon by its generous opponents.

The contest, which will be played at Ayer, promises to be close. The cantonment nine will have the advantage of two former Red Sox players, Cooney at shortstop and Captain Janvrin at second. As the regular University pitcher, D. J. O'Keeffe '18, will be saved for Saturday's game with Yale, Coach Duffy will probably choose A. L. Peirson '20 for duty in the box today. The latter pitched excellent...
