...clashes to date, will probably take to the field, it was announced yesterday by Coach F. G. Mitchell. Willard Howard '28, the likely starter in the pitcher's box, will make his season's debut this afternoon. A shortstop two years ago, he was transferred into a hurler and turned in several creditable performances last spring. It is rumored that R. C.

He was, however, practising with...

Last Saturday at New Haven he shut out the strong Yale nine...
...pitch for Harvard some time during the game. Two years ago Howard was a regular at shortshtop on the University nine, but was struck in the eye by a batted ball in the Princeton game, and has seen little service since. The coaches have been training him as a hurler this season, and Coach Mitchell said last night that he might fill a relief pitching role if the visitors hit the starting twirler hard. Howard pitched on his school team at Middlesex...
