With Chuck Marshall gone for the afternoon on personal business. Martelli picked up the first baseman's mitt for the "third and fourth times in my life" and died a fine job. Paul Scheper, in left field for the nightcap, ranged far into the pasture to corral a lead-off blast by Princeton's Bill Miller in the fourth, and freshman secondsacker Lyman had a near-perfect day, missing only a vaguely catchable ball that fell between him and center fielder Bruce Welfer for a harmless single...

Scannell came in standing up when Harvard left fielder Jim Peccerillo's throw sailed high, and Colombo made it all the way to third when Steward--backing up home--tried to get Colombo at second and javelined the ball into center field...
