The Freshman third sacker drove out a four ply wallop in the first inning to account...

...hill today at the start. He has not worked since the Amherst game, when he hurled a five hit contest. The University mentor will not choose the pitcher until just before the teams take the field, and it is possible that either Barbee or Cutts will be given the mound assignment.
