The University baseball team will travel up to Medford this afternoon to help the Tufts nine end its most successful season in years. Yesterday Dartmouth, toppled by Harvard in ten innings on Friday, celebrated the Tufts Class Day with a game at Tufts Oval. Today, with the Commencement crowds still thronging the Tufts campus, the Crimson and Brown and Blue nines, on their records two of the strongest diamond aggregations in the East, will clash in the Oval at 3 o'clock.
From out the turmoil of the Tufts schedule of the past week Coach Nash has saved Shanley Robinson, southpaw pitching ace, to face Captain Isadore Zarakov '27 and his followers in the contest today. Robinson has enjoyed a phenominal season to date. Of the 14 games won by the Nash-coached aggregation, the stellar boxman has turned in 11 triumphs, and only once has he fallen before the onslaught of opposing batsmen.
Today's game will provide a stiff conditioning brush for the Crimson nine in preparation for the Yale series next week. Coach F. G. Mitchell has been shifting his lineup in the past few games, testing various combinations with an eye toward discovering the most effective alignment to send against the Blue in the impending series. The nine which will meet Tufts today is undecided. Since a left-hander, will probably be on the mound for the home team, it is possible that the Harvard mentor may decide to place G. E. Donaghy '29, a strong right-handed hiter, in right field, with R. C. Sullivan '27, another right-hander at short, J. R. Duchin '27 is the right-handed hitting backstop of the squad but Henry Chauncey '27, batting leader of the Crimson forces, may start, even though he swings from the first base side of the plate.
F. B. Cutts '28 or Willard Howard '28 is the pitching probability for Harvard. One of these two twirlers will in all likelihood start the second tilt of the Yale series, and should have an opportunity to display his hurling wares, in a final engagement before the crucial Eli clashes.
