The only chance he has had to observe his hurlers in "action" was an intra-squad game Wednesday and he must base his choices chiefly on last season's performances. Ira Godin will bear the brunt of the pitching chores, starting against Virginia on Monday and handling the League opener against Navy a week from today...
Except for Godin, whose 8-3 record topped the Harvard pitchers last season, McInnis must experiment with the rest of his staff to see who will stand up under fire and who won't. The six games in as many days next week will definitely test his mound corps. Barry Turner, Ralph Hymans, and Roy Meears are expected to back up Godin. Hymans wears a special plastic covering over his sweatshirt this year, which he claims keeps his arm warmer...
