LUCKY NINTH FOR HARVARD

Four Runs in Last Inning Brought 6 to 5 Victory Over Vermont.

A ninth inning rally by the University team won the game with Vermont on Saturday. The score stood 5 to 2 against Harvard from the fourth to the ninth inning, but in the final period, with one out, four runs were pushed across the plate, leaving the score 6 to 5.

Babson opened the game in the box for Harvard, but a triple, a double, and a single drove him to the bench at the end of the first inning. He was replaced by McLaughlin, Wigglesworth taking the latter's place in left field. The hits in this inning netted two runs for Vermont. Harvard tied the score in its half of the same inning.

In the fourth inning three hits and a long fly misjudged by Clifford scored three runs for the visitors. From then until the ninth neither team scored. In the last period Winkler passed the first two men up, hit the third, and allowed Rogers a hit, which scored Reeves and Coon. He was then replaced by Malcolm. Carr put up a sacrifice fly on which Wigglesworth scored, and Potter, with a pretty single, brought Rogers around with the winning run.
