...rejuvenation of the Crimson nine in the recent victories over Brown and Northeastern. In addition, Dick Grondahl, who has recovered from a cold, which kept him from playing for over a week, showed in the last two games that he will be a great asset to a weak hitting infield. At present Grondahl is at second base in place of Art Johns who is bothered by a spiked heel...
Hitting .479 in 13 games played, Lupien is the chief cog in the Varsity attack, dependably holding down the initial sack. The Bilodeau, Johns double-play combination at shortstop and second, and Owen in the hot corner complete probably the best infield in the league. But the outfield is at best erratic. The veteran Jim Sullivan in right is only an average batter and a good fielder. One of the surprizes of the season is the sensational play of Mal "Buster" McTernen in the centerfield garden. Always a go-getter, McTernen has become the hitting star of the recent games...

With 70,000 paid spectators and 5,000 admitted free in the infield, the crowd should equal the biggest in Derby history. If, as anticipated, 24 horses should go to the post, this week's field would top the old 1928 record of 22. With the purse, reduced for the last three years, upped again to $50,000 added, the prize would also...
With the bases loaded by virtue of passes to Bilodeau, and Jim sullivan and Buster McacTernen's infield single, chances for a Crimson victory in the tenth appeared bright. But the St. John's pitcher, Irving Prince, forced Dave Shean to hit into a fast double play, ending the inning...
Here came the freak of fortune which spelled defeat for the Crimson. Bob Gannett batting for Ingalls, drove out a hit along the third base line. The ball struck the bag, bouncing back into the infield. What should have been a two-bagger and might have scored Shean with the tying run was only a single, and when hurler Bruninghaus tossed out Art Johns, the game was over...
