Last Saturday, when the Crusaders had Dobens, a southpaw in the box, Sullivan, a left-handed batter, was placed in the lineup to add to the team's strength at bat. He went in for Donaghy at short, while the latter's ability both at the plate and in the field kept him in the game at right field. This same shift in the lineup will be maintained today against Creson, the southpaw pitcher who will face the Crimson sluggers. It is possible that Lord will be replaced at first by Tobin, another lefthanded batter, while Duchin's liking...
...leading moundsman of the Crimson staff, is slated to pitch. The choice of his opponent is uncertain. Fons, star hurler who was roughly handled in a relief role in the first Holy Cross tilt, may draw the assignment, although indications point toward the selection of Dobens, a southpaw pitcher who plays in the outfield when he is not occupying the box, Dobens appeared in the ninth inning of the first game, and did not get a fair chance to display his wares against Harvard.

Auburn establishment of humorous note produced a nine which could so long hold in check the slugging forces of the CRIMSON. For eight innings Bob Lampoon, diminutive southpaw, ruled supreme from the eminence of the mound which has witnessed so many of his former disastrous attempts to practice the mysterious art of twirling a horse hide pellet. For eight innings CRIMSON runners could make no progress on the sodden base paths of the Soldiers Field diamond. Then...
Kellogg, the Amherst southpaw moundsman, was nicked for only five hits in as many frames but issued nine passes and was relieved by Pratt...
