...Kessler, who pitched three hitless innings against Yale last Saturday, will be the starting pitcher for the Crimson. Last year, Kessler was the winning pitcher in relief as the varsity trounced Brandeis...

Two walks, and unsuccessful fielder's choice, a wild pitch, a sacrifice fly and the varsity was behind for the rest of the game.

Mantle was home, and the Yankees were still alive...
