...Crimson started out as though it were going to make the game a runaway by counting twice in the first on a walk to Mays, an infield out and successive singles by Wood and Ticknor. After that, however, Souther settled down for a while and held Harvard scoreless until the sixth when Bassett crossed the plate on Mays' scratch hit. In the seventh Bassett's infield bingle sent in Wood after he had walked and Ticknor had singled. Devens tallied the final run the next inning when he walked, advanced to second on Mays' sacrifice, to third on an infield...
...DesRoches '31 at third will complete the infield. DesRoches is taking the place of B. L. Huxtable '30 who will be kept on the bench for a few days with an injured hand sustained in practice the other...
Practice yesterday consisted mainly of batting and infield workouts. The first-string infield that is to start Friday's contest will probably be made up of G. A. Donaldson '31 at first base, E. A. Mays '32 at second, F. E. Nugent '30 shortstop, and H. L. Huxtable '30 at third. The second infield yesterday was composed of W. B. Wood Jr. '32 at the initial sack, J. J. Carver '30 at second base assisted by J. J. O' Neil '30 at shortstop, with E. J. Des Roches '31 covering the hot corner...
Although the other positions on the team are far from decided Coach Mitchell has his starting infield pretty well in mind. Barry Wood is likely to be converted into a first-sacker and take over the place left vacant by the graduation of Prior. Mays is already far ahead of the other contenders for second and he will have Captain Nugent over at short to help him guard the keystone sack. Nugent played second last year and had McGrath as running mate, but McGrath is moving to the outfield and Nugent has shifted over to the shortfield. At third...
Combining the two drills the batters had to run out their hits against a regular infield and once on base the runners got plenty of coaching and practice in working the double steal. This made it a hard day for the catchers who gave their arms the stiffest test they have had all season. The main interest still centers on the infield, however, where a lively tussle is being staged for all positions. Yesterday's first quartet had G. A. Donaldson '31 at first, E. A. Mays '32, at second, Captain F. E. Nugent '30, at short...
