...later the Bruins tied up the contest on as freakish a play as has occurred this season. When the ball went out of bounds in fairly deep Harvard territory, the Crimson right wing threw it in to his halfback. The half-back, evidently thinking that he should make the throw-in, picked up the ball and started to the sidelines. The referee blew his whistle, ruled that a legal throw-in had been made, and called a hands penalty on the Crimson. On the subsequent free kick, Guiseppo Antone nudged the ball in for the only Brown score...
...line drive to left field. Gallagher reached on a perfect bunt down the first base path. After Heath was forced at third by Fitzgibons' attempted sacrifice Flynn came through with a sharp single to center field, scoring Gallagher. Flynn moved to second and Fitzgibbons to third on the throw-in. After fanning Slattery, Judge of BU let loose with a prodigious heave to the fence behind home plate and Fitzgibbons romped home to wind up the scoring...

On Musial's single, he scored what turned out to be the winning run. Then, in the ninth, his bull's-eye throw from right field to third base saved the game for the Cardinals...

Borrowing a leaf from sucedster Pete Reiser's book, after singling he scurried to second on a foul out to the catcher, went to third on Fitzgibbon's infield hit, and raced home ahead of the throw-in when Gallagher hit a high pop-up to deep short-stop...

This year, under the new rule, the ball, instead of being brought to the centre and tossed up after each goal, is automatically given to the team just scored on-for a throw-in from out of bounds just under the basket. This speeds up the game, adds about seven minutes of playing time, reduces the advantages of tall fellows over short ones, results in more spectacular tries for baskets and larger scores...
