...McCandlish, who has gradually developed into the most reliable pitcher on the squad, will start the game for Coach Norm Shepard's forces. McCandlish has scarcely had a bad performance all season. Last Saturday he duelled Army's brilliant Barry DeBolt for ten innings and yielded only nine hits, before giving up a cheap run in the last frame. If McCandlish is at his best tomorrow, Harvard should climb a notch in the EIBL standings...

Harvard's big, bad hitters blow down Brown's house of straw and M.I.T.'s house of wood, but Saturday they ran up against Army's house of bricks, artfully constructed by ace pitcher Barry DeBolt and lost 1 to 0 in ten innings at West Point...
With the score tied 0-0, DeBolt flew out to lead off the bottom of the tenth inning. Army's Gene Atkinson then blasted a triple to right field and Bob Fazen lofted a foul behind first base. Harvard's Joe O'Donnell, running hard, took the ball with his back to the plate and hesitated as Atkinson broke for home. O'Donnell's throw bounded in front of Crimson catcher Gary Miller and Atkinson scored...
