...first good baseball game to be played on these fields in three years. Two good teams had taken turns hanging on to a series of one run advantages by combining excellent fielding and fine pitching. Harvard had played a full game with only a harmless error in the infield and without any of the gross errors of judgement which characterized much of last year's play...
Again, in the sixth, there were distinct evidences of loving care in the Teaching of Infield Play. After BU's Art Chartier had tripled firmly into darkest left-center, he committed the tactical error of attempting to score on a grounder to shortstop. Realizing the folly of this, he started back to third base when it became certain that Mort Dunn's throw would reach home before he did.

Cavanaugh, freshman second baseman last year from Roxbury Latin, is the only new face in the infield.

Maunino played short-stop until he was injured midway in the season. Cavanaugh replaces Myles Huntington, out for the season with a broken collar bone. Coulson has lost about 20 pounds since last season and will be a vastly improved fielder...
