John Tudor '29 led his team at the bat with three singles out of four trips to the plate. Hilliard, Cambridge Latin twirler and shortstop, furnished the fireworks by slamming a circuit clout through the arches of the Stadium for his only...
That Coach Mitchell has considerable respect for the prowess of the southerners with the bat is shown in his announcement that Barbee, Harvard's first string twirler who has lost but one game in ten starts, will be on the mound for the University team this afternoon. Barbee went through fourteen long albeit successful innings against Holy Cross Saturday and would, therefore, not ordinarily be expected to hurl today...

Cutts work in the box this spring has been erratic, although his side arm delivery has generally proved baffling to opposing batsmen. Howard was recently converted into a pitcher and in his lone performance against Williams a fortnight ago, he allowed only a brace of hits...
