...thirteenth, Coach Stahl and the Coast Guardsmen decided to end the struggle after the next inning. Leading off in the last of the fourteenth, shortstop Closky reached first when his grounder was thrown wide of first base. Bill Ayres, who had taken over Jim Fava's first base post in the twelfth, also rolled to the infield but reached first on a fielder's choice. As backstop Mel Lackey went down on strikes for the second out, Ayres pilfered second, placing himself in scoring position...
...bang-up game despite a bandaged left hand. Wallace was very fast, but he lacked control in some spots. Alert base running paved the way for several Crimson markers. Kidder might have escaped the disastrous fourth inning with fewer runs scored against him except for a bad-hop grounder that skidded freakishly over the Tufts shortstop's head. The Jumbo dugout jockeys had quite a lot of comment for so few runs. HARVARD ab h po a Falsey, ss 4 1 5 3 Williams, cf 5 0 2 0 Coulson 1b 4 1 8 0 Chapple...

In one day's fighting, he wrote, thousands of shells passed over his position, and one German dud bounced so close he could have fielded it like a hot grounder. He returned to the rear a little greyer, slept almost continuously for three days, then sat down to write a fistful of columns. Examples of his stuff...
...finer examples of the great members of the armed forces by civilians came in the second inning when spirit of cooperation being shown the the Harbus second baseman made a nice stop of Vander Eb's grounder, only to be taken out on the play before he could throw the ball to first by the shortstop; him as a gangling sophomors, this 6 foot 2 battering ram has been tearing up nice green gridirons. He's the right kind of guard to follow the Harlow-hidden ball today, and if he does, Crimson backs will be the losers. Doc Holloway...
Brown's unearned marker came in the third, the inning which saw the beginning and end of pitcher Berg's troubles. With one man out and runners on first and second by way of successive singles, McKone, Bruin centerfielder, slashed a hot grounder to Jim Gallagher's left. The Crimson third-sacker went over in a hurry but missed contact as the ball went through into left field...
