...ninth inning rally of the visiting batters drove Howard off the mound and gave R. H. Booth '27 a chance to show his skill. With one out Oliver doubled and took third on a passed ball. Creson walked and when Spears singled, Oliver scored and Creson moved up a base. Jones sacrificed and Owen hit, bringing in Creson and Spears. After McKibbon's single, Howard left, and Booth entered. He threw one ball to Russell, and the first sacker popped to Zarakov, ending the encounter...
That Coach Mitchell has considerable respect for the prowess of the southerners with the bat is shown in his announcement that Barbee, Harvard's first string twirler who has lost but one game in ten starts, will be on the mound for the University team this afternoon. Barbee went through fourteen long albeit successful innings against Holy Cross Saturday and would, therefore, not ordinarily be expected to hurl today...
...probably shift his lineup in order to send righthanded hitters against the formidable southpaw. J. E. Tobin '27 will take the place of W. W. Lord '28 on first base, while I R.

Harvard knocked Davidson and fons, the two leading right-handers of the Worcester nine, off the mound. The Crudaders' two runs were both scored by Harrell, their shortstop, who hit a home run on the first ball pitched in the game, and who drove out a triple in the sixth, on which W. B. Jones '28 made a wild throw, allowing the runner to make the circuit...
...Willard Howard '28 is the probable pitching choice for the University. After his success as relief twirler against Yale last June, Cutts has had a fair year thus far, lack of consistency being the drawback to his further effectiveness. Howard, former Harvard shortstop, has changed to the pitching mound only this spring, and thus far has hurled the University to victory over the Williams batters, whom he held to two hits, and pitched in the 3 to 3 tie played a week ago with the Alumni nine.
