Wright, who pitched for the State of Rhode Island at the national softball tourney at Chicago in 1940 (won by Rochester Kodak), never allowed more than two runs in any of the six games. Shortstop Al Pytko, of the same team, proved to be perhaps the best leadoff man of the tourney, and Ash Carter took care of the league's most difficult catching assignment in handling Wright...
...team's hardest hitter and most improved player, according to Barnaby, who moved him up to number one on the team as the result of his showing in the tournament. This move drops Gaelen Felt, who lost to McKenna, Yale's leadoff man, into the second position, but leaves the third slot still occupied by Sears.

His greatest triumph came when he whaled Princeton's Ridder 3-0 in the semi-final bracket...
Main hopes for a Crimson triumph at New York rest in the two-mile relay team, who, although they did not make too good a showing against Northeastern last Saturday, have improved during the past week. Sophomore half-miler Dave Matlack will be the leadoff man, and another Sophomore, Tim Coggeshall, will run second. Last two men will be Bill Palson and Captain Bob Houghton, who turned in a spectacular last leg on the relay against the Huskies. It was not known last night who their opponents would be, but Yale is entering a good two-mile team, including Schwartzkopf...
Small Tom Sullivan and Sophomore Bill Crawford, the latter only swimming for his second year, were responsible for the Princeton relay triumph. Leadoff man Sullivan did about 54 flat and picked up a yard and a half on Tom Shrewsbury, and John Clark tacked on another yard to this margin against Lonnie Stowell. Frannie Powers wiped out all of the deficit against Ned Parke and gave Art Bosworth a lead of about one foot, but the tired Bosworth was unable to keep up with Crawford--he was close to 53 flat...
