...infield presents one of the toughest problems for Samborski to find an answer to. Only Captain Johnny Coppinger remains from last year's regular infield, and he'll be trying to pull down the hot corner again. In the running for the same position along with him is John Chase, late of the hockey sextet. Samborski won't quite be starting from scratch in finding a man to cover first base.

Buddy King, facing the Yale captain at 136, escaped in the last period to pull a 3 to 2 upset win for Harvard; while three classes up, Don Louria alternately scored nearfalls and reversals to pile up the largest margin of the day, a 13 to 5 decision over Bill Julion. Captain Pete Fuller took the only other bout for the Varsity, an unexpectedly close 3 to 1 decision over heavyweight Tom Thomas of Yale...
