...Cutts '28 is Coach F. G. Mitchell's choice for duty in the box this afternoon. Cutts, stellar relief twirler in the last two Yale series, has steadied down a great deal this season and is capable of travelling the full route. Dur- ing his nine innings of action against the strong Quantico Marines, he allowed only two safe hits. He also pitched well in the openers against Boston University, Trinity, and New Hampshire State...
Although Connors, the Dean twirler, held the University to seven hits, the schoolboy pitcher received ragged support from his teammates. The visitors outhit the Cambridge combination, collecting nine safe hits off the offerings of J. S. Cunningham '29, but failed to make their hits count. No Dean man connected for more than a single throughout the game. Cunningham was never in danger except in the sixth frame when he allowed four hits, and one run was scored. Hillary and McCabe led the Dean offense with two safe singles apiece...
...Wildcats have played only two games this season, losing their opener to Bates by a 6 to 3 count, but defeating Northwestern 2 to 0 in a very close contest. Slayton, the probable starting twirler in today's clash, is considered one of the leading pitchers in New England collegiate ranks. Last year he held the Crimson to five hits, but the University nine won by a 7 to 5 score, owing to costly fielding miscues on New Hampshire's part...
Except for this single loss, when the Marine twirler let the Harvard players down with four hits in eleven innings, the Crimson batters have found little trouble in connecting with the offerings of opposing hurlers. The batting average for the squad to date is .345, a decrease of only two points in the last three contests...
Willard Howard '28, on the mound for the winning team, pitched a fine game, allowing only seven hits. The Crimson twirler kept the opposing batters well under control, except for a brief lapse in the eighth, when a single and two walks filled the bases. J. P. Chase '28 mishandled a grounder and let Westcott trot across the plate to score Maine's lone tally...
