Stuffy McInnis will probably start John Donelan against the Quakers this afternoon and either Bob Ward or Rufe Webb tomorrow. Penn's pitching has been extremely spotty all season, and today's starter, Bob Brooks, has been unable, in spite of a two-and-one record, to finish a game this spring...
McInnis will gamble on top right-hander Bob Ward to hold back the Orange and Black power hitters today, and will probably start John Donelan against Dartmouth. But with the Tigers heading for Providence tomorrow to face a strong Brown nine, Princeton coach Emerson Dickson is expected to start second-best Dave Sisler (son of George and brother of Dick) today, and save ace Ray Chirurgi for Saturday. This afternoon, however, Chirurgi will be on hand for relief, if needed...

The sophomore righthander pitched a pair of two-hitters this season before being relatively ineffective against Brown's powerful southpaw batsmen last Wednesday. It is still probable, however, that Donelan will take his regular Saturday starting turn...

But Coach Stuffy is so concerned about the effect of five left-hand swingers on Ward that he may gamble on the one capable southpaw pitcher at his disposal, reliefer Spider Webb. Webb gave up five hits in five-and-one-third innings of firemanning against Amherst. As an added enticement to a gambling man, this move could save Ward for Saturday's contest against perenially-strong Army...
