...port-side twists of pitcher Hensil once again managed to keep the Harvard sluggers in check as the Villanova diamond dusters conquered the Crimson baseball forces by a 7 to 6 score. Yesterday afternoon's clash on Soldiers Field produced brilliant as well as shoddy brands of ball as the rival aggregations fought out a battle bitterly-contested to the final play...
During the fifth and sixth frames. Molloy, who had assumed twirling duties, baffled the Villanova willow-wielders, but a series of safe blows in the seventh gave them what proved to be their winning run. The Harvard pitcher had matters well in hand from then on. The final stanza saw the spectacular Crimson rally fail narrowly...
Whitmore suffered his first defeat of the season yesterday, yielding seven hits, one of them a homer, during his four innings of service. The inexperienced Molloy, who relieved him, showed good form on the mound and promises well for the future.

...Villanova aggregation has found the sailing pretty rough so far this spring, losing well over half of its contests; but its lineup has seven veterans including pitcher Hensil who played on the 1928 nine which trounced Harvard by a decisive 8 to 0 score. The left-handed Wildcat hurler let the last year's Crimson outfit down with six hits and fanned nine, facts which tend to show that today's contest may yet be a ball game worth seeing...
