...Freshman nine. At the same time the Crimson lacrosse team downed the Hanoverians. In the remainder of the baseball program Pennsylvania retaliated for last week's defeat at the hands of the University diamond squad by squeezing out a tight 2 to 1 victory against the pitching of Puffer, and the University Second team took the measure of Cushing Academy by an 11 to 7 count...
Despite the fact that the Crimson beaters outhit Pennsylvania on Soldiers Field Saturday afternoon, the viskors evened the series count with a 2 to 1 win. Puffer, the University pitching veteran, and Sanford, who took up the mound duties for the Red and Blue squad where Long and Kruez left off, engaged in a hurling duel all the way. The University pitcher held the winners to three hits while the Crimson attack was collecting four safe blows. Both pinchers were handicapped by the wet ball and slippery footing on the mound, but the rival hitters were even more seriously held...

...Puffer did relief work in the Yale series last spring and is the only letterman on Coach Mitchell's mound staff. He is said to possess the most deceptive curve ball of any of the Crimson hurlers, but last year his control was none too good. In his one start this year, he showed a complete reversal of form, and held the C. U. hitters to four hits in the eight innings that he toiled. He was removed for a pinch hitter at that time, and not because of the pressure of the opposing stickmen, though he lost the decision...
...Puffer this afternoon will have the same team behind him that supported Booth so well on Saturday against Amherst. Coach Mitchell has not decided definitely whether he will send Ullman or Chase to cover the keystone sack. If a left-hander toils for Springfield, Ullman, who bats from the starboard side of the plate is sure to get the call, but with Springfield offering a right-hander, Chase, in spite of Ullman's brilliant fielding against Amherst, may be sent in to bat from the first base side of the rubber. Neither of these men has shown much prowess with...
