...Wadsworth, the best man on coach Shepard's very capable mound staff, will probably get the starting assignment today. Wadsworth also started the earlier Eli game, and was not up to his usual standard of effectiveness. However, his overall performance this season has clearly established his excellence as a pitcher (his won-lost record is 4-2, his earned run average around 2.00) and it will be surprising if he does not improve on that previous Yale outing...
