Yesterday's big game saw the rejuvenation of Lowell House which rose out of its cellar position with a starting defeat of the Eliot Elephants 9-8. The mound work of Eliot B. Knowlton '38 was effective in subduing Eliot, as the Bellboys pounded Arnold S. Litman '38 for ten hits.
With the score 8-4 against them in the first of the seventh Eliot put on a stirring rally. Combining a walk and two Bellboy errors with a two-run double by Cleveland Amory '39, and a timely single by Sheldon P. Peterfreund '39, the Elephants deadlocked the ball game.

Then with the count three and two, John L. Dampeer '38 was walked, forcing in the winning marker. Winthrop walked away with their game, 19-6 from a week Adams nine.

Batting honors for Winthrop went to Downs, dependable third baseman, who registered four hits and scored thrice. Dark horse ace of the Puritan squad was Verner E. Kelly '37, who made a spectacular catch of a center field fly, and smacked out a triple on his last trip to the plate. New Adams pitching talent was uncovered as Morris G. Manker '38 and Irving H. Soden each spent two innings on the mound. Soden dazzled the Puritans in the fifth by striking out two of them with his sizzling speed balls. The lineups:
