Smyth, '83, will pitch and Crocker, '85, will catch in the game with the Beacons this afternoon. It is probable that Lovering will not be called to play...
...fifth Yale went out in short order, Hall putting out the third man by a beautiful foul-tip catch. Harvard added another run to her score in this inning, making the score stand 3 to 1. Bean was put out at first, and Le Moyne went out on three strikes.
