...Monday afternoon the military ball players decisively repelled the Boston College aggregation. "Captain" Kidd, crack Marine hurler, was on the mound and it is not likely that he will get the call, today. He did the pitching in the first encounter this spring, but Smith, a southpaw, is slated to oppose the Harvard batters today...
Coach Mitchell indicated his intention yesterday afternoon of giving the assignment for mound duty to one of his Sophomore hurlers, either to W. K. Page '31 or to W. H. MacHale '31.

The first pitch went wild and Prior ticked the second into the stands. As Hensil wound up for the third throw McGrath streaked...
