Facing its first game at home, the Varsity baseball team will engage Boston University at 4 o'clock this afternoon on Soldiers Field. Dick Walsh will hurl for the Crimson, making his third start of the season.
The game today will be no setup for Harvard as it has been in past years, for the Terriers went on a conditioning five-game southern trip, have six hitters over a .300 average, and an ace pitcher in Vincent Sandercock.
13 Run Average
If the Mitchellmen receive good twirling, they should win fairly easily, for in Lupe Lupien, Tom Bilodeau, Al Colwell, and Frank Owen they have a real group of sluggers who enabled the Crimson to average nearly 13 runs per game on the southern jaunt.
Walsh, the Senior southpaw, did not show up too well in his two vacation games, but Coach Fred Mitchell figures that he is about ready to turn in a really good performance and so will have him toe the slab.
On Saturday the Varsity nine plays its second league encounter when Princeton sends its high-flying Tigers north. The Nassaumen have already defeated the Navy who took the Crimson invaders into camp on the recent spring trip.
