Penn Head Coach Bob Seddon predicted yesterday that the crowd could reach 10,000 for the game if the weather is good...
...Harvard baseball team was beginning the "regular" season there were a few pessimists who enjoyed bad-mouthing the Crimson's 13-0 record compiled during the spring Florida trip. Detractors such as Penn coach Bob Seddon weren't impressed by the likes of Embry Riddle Aeronautic Institute, Bethune Cookman and Florida Institute of Technology. Anyone could beat those jokers, they said...
...that's a joke," Seddon said the day before his young Quaker squad edged the Crimson 3-2 in Harvard's first game north of the Mason Dixon Line, "Harvard will be hearing a lot about that during the year." Penn figured it would get the last laugh by beating Harvard in the all important Eastern League, and play in the NCAA District I tourney...
...while Seddon's boys, runners-up in the league to the Crimson, are packing their troubles and going their separate ways from the City of Brotherly Love, the Harvard team will be packing for Omaha and the College World Series...
...their words, Harvard has been proving itself the best ball club in the Northeast. Now there are probably those out west who say that the calibre of competition in the east doesn't measure up to western standards, much as Embry Riddle didn't measure up to Bob Seddon's. The Crimson squad better bring some salt to Omaha for those people, it'll make their words go down a lot easier
