...during the period since the Bowdoin game. At that time, the Crimson stick-men were meeting the ball for an average of .267, but the light hitting that has featured the last two encounters has reduced this figure to .250, or one bingle for each four journeys to the plate...
After counting once in the initial frame, the 1929 squad bombarded Cole, the Deer-field hurler with four hits in the third, and chased five runs across the plate. In the following session the Freshmen continued their scoring when Durkee was hit by a pitched ball, Prior and McGehee walked, and Elkins and Dewing connected safely.

With their batting sights more properly adjusted, and behind steady pitching this afternoon the invaders should find it difficult to carry off the honors
