A mediocre Cornell nine which had chalked up its first victory of the season over Boston College Friday displayed an unbeatable brand of ball Saturday afternoon at Soldiers Field behind Walt Sickles' four-hit pitching to vanquish Harvard's league leading team, 12-3.
Losing morale when Tom Healey weakened at the start, the Crimson played listlessly, committing eight miscues and connecting safety only four times, to drop its first Circuit tilt this year.
Healey issued five passes before he was yanked with none out in the seventh, two more free tickets than he had given since the spring trip. Slim Curtiss took over the twirling duties at that point, and four Cornell runs scored before he was able to retire the side.
Infield Blowup
Coach Stahl's hitherto sparkling infield turned the seventh into a farce. Gannett walked to open the inning, and Polzer followed with a single, Mogk dropped a bunt toward third, which Healey fielded, throwing wild past first, two men tallying, and Mogk going to second. Curtiss mounted the mound.
Lupien committed his third error of the year on Ruddy, in allowing Keyes' poor throw to go through his legs, Scholl moving to third. Matuczak's single to right scored Scholl and sent Ruddy to third. Art Johns turned in a classy stop of Bowen's sure single over second and tossed to Keyes on second, to force Matuczak. Keys on second, to force Matuczak. Keyes muffed the toss, and all hands were safe, Ruddy scoring.
Heb Fulton, with three would-be pilferers caught in the act, and with two of Harvard's four his to his credit played well. However, with the exception of three brief rallies, the Stahlmen were important.
