Against the powerful batters of the Princetonian Saturday the ambidextrous moundsman of the CRIMSON fought his way to a startling five to five victory.

Several times during the game the reversible battery reversed itself with a creditable show of technique and flaming Crimson...

Bartlett '28, who composed the better half of the $250,000 ambidextrous reversible battery, had sprained his right...
