SOLDIERS FIELD, May 16.--Close to 13,000 bystanders escaped injury this afternoon when the bat-swingers of the CRIMSON annihilated the Lampoon band of mud-casters.

Kelley, on the mound for the visitors, held his opponents to six hits, whereas Boston College had little trouble in finding Hickey, the Yale pitcher, for 13. The game was featured by the hitting of Neale and Oed, and a home run by Phillips...
