...Stuka again who provided the demise for the Crimson by stealing home and putting the soldiers in the lead, winning the game. Three of Harvard's brightest stars, Gallagher, Vin Leahy, and Ned Fitzgibbons, had been busy and could not show up for the game until the sixth inning, which may have helped to keep the team behind...

Ned Fitzgibbons will return to his centerfield post, in the hope that he will snap out of the slump which has affected his game so noticeably of late. Also scheduled are games with Fort Banks next Wednesday, and tentative dates with the Camp Devens team and the Lincoln Mohawks on Friday and Saturday.
