...SeaBees invade the precincts of Cambridge tomorrow when the Harvard Varsity baseball team faces a powerful squad from Camp Thomas at 3:15 o'clock on Soldiers Field. Right-hander Jack Wallace of the V-12 will again take the mound for the Crimson nine. The lineup in general is the same one that Coach Stahl fielded against the Quonset team last week...
