The Crimson ball players will seek to add a ninth victory to their string when they meet the Pennsylvania nine on the Soldiers Field diamond at 4 o'clock this afternoon.

The Pennsylvanians are generally represented by strong teams and the record of this spring's aggregation is an excellent warrant that the University will not find this afternoon's clash a sinecure. The visitors have taken the measure of Georgetown, the only college nine that has downed the Harvard baseball team this spring. Among Pennsylvania's other victims have been the Army and Richmond. Against these successes, however, must be placed defeats at the hands of Maryland and Swarthmore teams.

Crimson at Full Strength

With Ullman, who was unable to play against Bowdoin Wednesday on account of divisional, back in his position at second, Harvard will go on the field with its full strength. Barbee, Crimson hurling ace, will be on the mound today to face the Pennsylvania batsmen.

According to present indications, Foster Sanford, the visitors' undefeated pitcher, is not slated to see service in today's game, Walker and Knoblauch being the Penn hurlers listed on the possible lineup anounced last night.

Although Pennsylvania has not so high a team record at bat as the University hitters can boast, its hitting has been dangerously strong. Six players led by Captain Tremper, who plays center field, are batting over the 300 mark.

Last year, in the two-game series with Penn, Harvard won one game 7 to 4, and lost one 2 to 1. The two teams will meet again this spring on June 11, when the Harvard nine will journey to Philadelphia to assist at Harvard Alumni celebrations on the same date.
