Staring pitcher for the Harvard nine will be senior Bob Dorwart. The right-handed hurler is 2-0 for the season the limited B.U. to five hits through the first eight innings of last week's game...
...made baseball history by pitching his sixth straight shutout, a 5-0 masterpiece against the Pittsburgh Pirates, which now has run Don's streak of scoreless innings to 54, breaking Carl Hubbell's National League record of 46⅓ shutout frames and putting the Hollywood-handsome hurler just two scoreboard zeroes shy of the alltime major-league mark held by Walter Johnson, the "Big Train" himself. Don, tell us, how does it feel to be right up there with those great names of yesteryear...

The freshmen runs in the the first two innings came on a homer by Bard Fenton and triples by Pete Varney and Bill Kelly...
