Williams is particularly anxious to win today's game as a victory over Harvard would offset the defeat which they suffered at the hands of Princeton two weeks ago. Four of last year's team, Captain Lewis, Ainslee, Brown, and Swan, will play today. Hodge has had little experience in pitching but has shown great promise in the preliminary games.
