Harvard will meet Cornell on Soldiers Field at 3 o'clock this afternoon in the only game that will be played between the two teams this year. For some years before a two-game series has been played.

The University team will present the same line-up as in the Brown game last Saturday, with McLaughlin in the box and Hicks on first base. This will be McLaughlin's first appearance as a pitcher on the home diamond. Last week he pitched a very strong game against Brown, using a deceptive curve to good effect. Marshall will start the game at shortstop.

Cornell started the season poorly and was beaten several times on its southern trip and in the early games at Ithaca. Of late the team has been playing very fast ball, shutting out the strong Pennsylvania nine on May 21 by a score of 6 to 0. Amherst was beaten 6 to 3 in 13 innings, and Dartmouth 3 to 1, though earlier in the season Cornell was beaten by Dartmouth 4 to 2.

The games which Harvard and Cornell have played against the same opponents have resulted as follows: Georgetown won from Harvard 6 to 5, but was defeated by Cornell 8 to 2, and later won from Cornell 8 to 7; Amherst was defeated by Cornell 6 to 3, and won from Harvard 6 to 1; Williams was beaten by Harvard 2 to 1, and won from Cornell 1 to 0; and Holy Cross split even with Harvard and won from Cornell 9 to 1.
