...tomorrow. Since the debacle of a week ago Coach Mitchell has shaken things up a bit with the hope of gaining increased hitting strength. Lord, star first baseman of the Freshmen a year ago, has displaced the veteran at first. The Sophomore lacks experience, but he is a natural hitter, and about on a par in fielding with his rival.

Tobin, though the weakest hitter on the squad, has jumped into the lead with Zarakov for the most sacrifice hits. To date they each have three times advanced runners by voluntarily submitting to erasure at first base. Ellison, leader in this department until this week, still stands at two sacrifices, his only appearance last week being in the role of pinch-hitter...
...Harvard line-up will be unchanged. Ullman probably will start, no matter whom the Red and Blue sends to the rubber, but should Captain Long, a right hander toil for Penn, Chase who bats from the port side of the plate may get in as a pinch hitter.

In his one start this year, he showed a complete reversal of form, and held the C. U. hitters to four hits in the eight innings that he toiled. He was removed for a pinch hitter at that time, and not because of the pressure of the opposing stickmen, though he lost the decision, 1 to 0. His removal in favor of a pinch hitter brings to mind an incident...
...University mentor will be greeted with a wealth of material in the catching department. H. L. deRahm '27, hard left handed hitter, who did the bulk of the receiving in the closing games last year, and J. J. Maher '26, member of the University squad for two years and leader of his Freshman team, are given an edge over their competitors. From the 1928 nine. Henry Chauncey '28, another left handed hitter will be available. I. R. Duchin '27, who was unable to compete last year is an excellent receiver and a dangerous hitter, and is expected to give...
