...opening canto. As far as winning the contest goes, these runs were entirely wasted, for John Barbee was in fine fettle, both on the slab and as a batter. His single manufactured the only run that Harvard needed to win, as his good right arm yielded but three infield hits to the invaders. No Brunswicker reached second base, and only four left spike marks on the first sack...
...changes are expected in the 1929 line-up. Miyokawa will again patrol the short field and head the batting order; Crotty, Durkee and Tudor will be in charge of the outer pastures; Todd, Elkirs and Donaghy will stand guard over the three infield way stations; and Captain Prior will don the mask...
Lamont's offerings proved no mystery to the Crimson stickers, who hit the Rhode Island State pitching freely and aided by the wobbly support in the invading infield, pounded out a 10 to 2 win on Soldiers' Field yesterday afternoon. The game was called in the eighth because of darkness with University runners on the paths and no outs.

In the sixth, three hits, a base on balls and two errors gave the winners four tallies. Zarakov walked, Ellison sacrificed him to second.

Ullman, an in-and-outer last year, will patrol the keystone sector, and should prove dangerous to opposing twirlers. Sullivan, a Sophomore whom probation has prevented from displaying his wares hitherto, will fill the short-stop position today, and if he performs capably, the infield leak caused by Howard's injury last spring, may definitely be plugged. Coach Mitchell is not losing any sleep over the third base problem, and Zarakov, last year's spectacular performer, will again hold down the hot corner...
