Fresh from a victory over the sailors of the U. S. S. Southery Harvard's baseball forces will clash with the Colby nine this afternoon in their first game of the week. The game is scheduled to start at four o'clock and will be played on the first team diamond on Soldiers Field.

With warm weather now almost a certainty for all the remaining games Coach Mitchell's charges will be expected to reach their stride and' prove their worth as a ball club. Outside of the Southern trip the Crimson has not met any team of real caliber but with the Syracuse game Saturday the parade of high class baseball outfits to Soldiers Field will commence. With continued good pitching and a consistency of the batting form shown against the sailors the Crimson should take the majority of the important games.

The pitching burden will in all probability fall on the shoulders of Page this afternoon for he is long overdue to take his place on the mound. He has not pitched since he faced the George-town team, in the third contest of the Southern trip and came out on the short end of a 4 to 2 score despite some crafty south pawing. He was scheduled to pitch one of the games last week but when ball games were continually being called off on account of the weather the interim between his turns in the mound was becoming longer and longer.

Coach Edward C. Roundy of Colby is bringing down a team of veterans, but one that has played only one previous game. That was against Maine ten days ago and Harvard's opponents today batted out a 4 to 2 triumph. Bob Brown, Colby's pitching ace, is down to get the call today as Page's opponent. Klusick and Lovett, both stars of last year, are the leading sruggers for the visitors.
