...action as the one which smothered Trinity Wednesday. J.N. Barbee '28 will receive the call for pitching duty in today's contest in what will be the first appearance of the veteran Crimson moundsman on the home diamond. Barbee has seen service twice this season, in the games with Virginia and Georgetown during the spring trip.

The track team had a field day at the expense of two Virginia rivals, the tennis squad stood up creditably against high calibre opposition; and the lacrosse team, though losing all of its four games, disposed of the hardest part of its schedule and gained much valuable experience...
