...Page, southpaw pitcher, leads the batting with an average of .600 but as he has only taken five trips to the plate this season, it seems safe to call Captain McGrath and Ticknor, both compiling .394, the leading swatsmiths. Five of the team's regulars are hitting above .300 while McCaffrey, lead-off man with .297 and Mays with .288 are not far behind. DesRoches Batting...
...Crimson ace, who pitches right-handed and bats southpaw, let down the conquerors of Yale, Cornell, Columbia, and Swarthmore with seven knocks and scored one of the Harvard counters in person.

After six successive batters had singled he was removed and Page went on the mound. The southpaw was at least able to hold his own, for the Crusaders made only four more hits and one run.

MacHale '31 is second, with four wins and two losses while W. K. Page '31, the southpaw find of the 1929 season should see action in the series which starts today...
