...Crusaders are set with two rested starting pitchers, Al McEvoy and Joe Reidy. Last year they defeated the Crimson twice, the first time aided by a series of ninth inning errors in the outfield...
Berg has dubbed his team an "odd" one, for three fifths of his infield has moved up intact from Roxbury Latin, and he had been using three erstwhile pitchers in the outfield. In fact, a total of four pitchers are cavorting elsewhere than the mound. "They're fast, and we need the batting strength," claims Berg. Third baseman Vinnie Morton, shortstop Hal Marshall, and second sacker Harry Cavanaugh played in the same infield at Roxbury Latin last year. Ed Smith, Berg's towering six-six first baseman and Freshman basketball captain, appears to have found his batting eye already...
...practice ends, Bill Rosenau, former Andover receiver, will be available. Rosenau has been practicing but cannot play. Pitcher George Emmons, also out for football, is able to play, but cannot attend practice sessions. Catching has been a sore sport for Berg, and he insists his staff "must improve." The outfield has proved to be another Crimson weakness. Reilly, another Roxbury graduate and brother of Brendon Reilly who pitched for the Varsity last spring, John Simons, and Ernie Wohler had been operating in the outer gardens, but Berg made a change in the Brown game. Dave Skinner took over at third...
Morton is fast and has a good arm and might prove a shot in the arm to Berg's lethargic outfield. As things formerly stood, he had two men working there who are pitchers by profession, merely to utilize their hitting power. Pitching has been one of Berg's lesser worries. Jim Gabler and Emmons have performed creditably, the latter hurling a three-run, eight-hit job against the Jayvees. Roy Meears has been valuable as a reliefer against B.U. and Milton, and should merit a starting assignment soon, perhaps against Governor Dummer Academy this afternoon at South Byfield. Although...
With two-thirds of his starting outfield gone, Samborski also had to give up hopes of starting Red Connolly, his leading pitcher, who is still suffering from the after-effects of injections which cleared his infected finger. Right hander Ira Godin, released from Stillman on Monday, will be on the mound for the Crimson in the official home getaway, should the elements cooperate...
