FRESHMEN FACE GROTON NINE

Strong 1931 Outfit Is Favored Over Schoolboy Team

HARVARD 1931  GROTON Bassett, c.f.  s.s., Leonard Jewell, 1b.  c.f., Hill DesRoches, 2b.  p., Devens McGrath, s.s.  c., Fincke Samborski, p.  3b., Crocker Ogden, 3b.  r.f., Kellog Leonard, r.f.  2b., Fairburn Batchelder, c.  1b., Boyer Donaldson, l.f.  l.f., Corning

Playing its second game of the season, the Freshman nine will journey this afternoon to meet the Groton players at Groton. The strong first year aggregation overwhelmed the Middlesex clouters in its opener by an 18 to 0 score.

E.B. Samborski '31 is scheduled to pitch for the 1931 nine today. Samborski is not only a capable right-hand flinger but in the Middlesex contest furnished the fireworks with a circuit clout and a triple. B.H. Bassett '31 and E.J. DesRoches '31 are other heavy-hitters who should make things difficult for the Grotonian hurlers this afternoon.

Coach Claude Davidson is confident that his 1931 team will take the decision inasmuch as all the players have reached top form and individually appear more experienced than Freshman players of the past few years.
