Ward had given away nothing but Frank Dyson's leadoff single until the seventh, when Hogan's hard grounder went through White and, with two away, catcher George Vomacka tripled to left over Bennie Akillian's head. White and Walsh caused excitement by singling in the ninth, but White was thrown out at third by the Crusader catcher to kill the threat.

Foynes, fourth leading batsman in the league last season, was released from Stillman yesterday. He suffered no complications and may start against Holy Cross on Wednesday. Sophomore John Canepa replaced Foynes in center field...

But on the turn McGrath's right arm hit McCreary, and a judge called a foul at that point...
...Smith, Adams, and Iben looked fast and they form a fine leadoff group. They are smart wrestlers, as is Heidtmann, and when Al Sawyer--now getting into shape after breaking his leg last year--returns to bolster the middle of the lineup, Pickett's squad will be even more formidable...
