Harvard opens its home baseball season at 3:45 p.m. today against Boston University. Ira Godin, with exactly three days' rest after his four-hour job on Navy, will start for Coach Stuffy McInnis' team...
Pitching will be Stuffy's main worry. 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...
Last year, in 19 innings of Ivy League pitching, Godin gave up only two earned runs and ten hits while striking out 20 batter. He finished the season with a brilliant four-hit 2 to 0 shutout of of Yale, beating the Elis' outstanding pitcher, Frank Quinn. Godin will start the 1949 campaign at Virginia on Monday and will work the Crimson's first League game against Navy on Saturday. After that, he will get the call for most of the team's League contests...
However, after Godin, McInnis' mound staff lacks depth. Hymans and Tunner, a left-hander, saw only limited action last spring. Meears was the leading pitcher on last year's ill-fated freshman squad and did some heroic work, but in general the staff 'lacks deception and control except when Godin is on the mound...
