Undefeated in his last three starts Tom Healey is expected to pitch the hard-hitting Stahlmen to their fourth straight League triumph over Bill Clark's erratic Princeton club today at 4 o'clock on Soldiers Field.
With Keyes at short the Crimson will be at full strength for the first time in Loop games and should give Healey the same airtight fielding and timely batting that has characterized their previous wins.
Johns and Lupien
Chief punch in the Harvard lineup is provided by Art Johns as leadoff man and Lupe Lupien in the cleanup position who are both hitting well over .400. Fulton, Hoye, and Grondahl, all in the .300 bracket, should also worry Princeton's Lefty Farber, leading Tiger moundsman.
Sixth ranking hurler in the Eastern Intercollegiate League last year with four wins and three losses, Farber's southpaw slants may trouble the Crimson more today than they did last Friday when he yielded 13 safeties. With 43 victims to his credit, the Tiger flinger was second only to Yale's Mee Jubitz in the 1938 circuit strikeout rankings.
Princeton has won three and lost six games this season, dropping the last three in a row to Fordham, Navy, and Harvard and heads only Cornell in the League, while Harvard is a full game ahead of Yale in first position.
All season the Orange and Black have been troubled with infield bobbles and poor hitting in the pinches. Most dangerous of the Tiger batsmen is Ben Tate in the number three slot.
