Candy Calling. There is nothing quite like Mindy in the upper regions of U.S. entertainment. She walks with the free & easy stride of the first-sacker on a girls' high-school baseball team (which she once was), approaches the microphone like a polite salesgirl (which she also was) addressing a customer. About half the time, Mindy is not at her best. She still has to jog the echoes of half a dozen better-known singers out of her ears; but in top form, her voice is clear as spring water...
Thirty-three-year-old second sacker Tom Lyons collected three of the Terriers' 13 hits, but he was overshadowed by two youthful outfielders, Wilde and Gayzagian, who drummed out three triples and two homers between them. First baseman Agganis and pitcher Moore each hit two singles...
...event came when he decided to invent, for use in short stories, a scientific method of crime detection based on the deduction-by-observation habits of Professor Bell. He sketched out a short novel called A Tangled Skein, involving a detective named Sherrinford Holmes and a narrator named Ormond Sacker.

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 and makes a good target in the infield...
Bill Barron, who played the outfield for the Samborski flock, and Bill Fitz, Crimson first-sacker, earned the dubious distinction of finishing second and third, respectively, in number of times struck out. Barron fanned 11 times in 30 trips to the plate, Fitz 10 in 37. The League leader in this department whiffed 13 times. HARVARD BATTING ab r h rbl tb avg.
