Harvard had loaded the bases with one but when John Dockery caught the Lion defense off balance with a perfect bunt. Neil Houston scored easily from third and Columbia pitcher George Bunting left holding the ball when no one bothered to cover first. Jeff Grate repeated the maneuver, with Joe O'Donnell barrelling in from third...
Harvard has the batters to mangle DeBolt or anyone else, if they can only bunch a few of their hits. The infield is hitting a collective .342, with shortstop Jeff Grate leading the parade at .389. First baseman Bob Welz in batting .362, third baseman Jim Tobin is hitting .327, and little Nellie Houston, who averaged all of .244 last season, is up almost 100 points...
...Grate rocked the only Harvard homer, but triples by Lord, Neil Houston, Tom Munzel, Liebgott, and Grate attest to the difficulties Brandeis had fielding the long ball...
...Munzl in the fourth. Munzel didn't permit a hit in 3 1/2 innings, but Harvard's long at-bats cooled him off and he walked five men in the seventh, which was mercifully the last inning.

Punctuating the uninteresting procession of runners across the plate were a few legitimate highlights: John Dockery left the Brandeis catcher gaping with a breathtaking hook slide following a first-inning foul grounder by Jeff Grate. The Judges' center fielder retreated to the infield of the freshman diamond when Lord came to the plate after his first-inning triple. Brandeis caught Grate off third base with the old hidden ball trick. And Jim Tobin got a 20-foot "triple" when at least four Judges mishandled the ball...
