Mason '22 starred both in the field and at bat, making a beautiful one-handed stop of C. MacDonald's hot grounder that threatened in the sixth, and netting two hits, one of them the double that brought home the winning tally. S. B. Chase Jr. '21 played a steady game at shortstop, and J.

The Crimson failed to seize its chance, however. Buell's grounder to short forced Thayer at the plate, and the next two men filed out.
