From out the turmoil of the Tufts schedule of the past week Coach Nash has saved Shanley Robinson, southpaw pitching ace, to face Captain Isadore Zarakov '27 and his followers in the contest today. Robinson has enjoyed a phenominal season to date. Of the 14 games won by the Nash-coached aggregation, the stellar boxman has turned in 11 triumphs, and only once has he fallen before the onslaught of opposing batsmen...
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. Last Saturday at New Haven he shut out the strong Yale nine, 7 to 0, allowing...
...Dobens should start the game in the box for the Purple, Coach F. G. Mitchell will probably shift his lineup in order to send righthanded hitters against the formidable southpaw. J. E. Tobin '27 will take the place of W. W. Lord '28 on first base, while I R. Duchin '27 will be behind the plate instead of Henry Chauncey '28 if Dobens mounts the mound in the first inning. Lord and Channcey are stronger batters than their substitutes, but both swing the bat from the side of the plate nearest first base...
...baseball team displayed a clever brand of diamond strategy--exceptionaly clever, in fact, for seldom in its baseball history has the Mt. 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...
