Cornell knocked Harvard out of the EIBL race yesterday afternoon with a 6 to 3 victory on Hoy Field.

The Crimson, thus dropped to fourth place, rallied twice to take an early lead which was erased by the fourth inning.

The Ithacans got a run in the first inning on a double and a single by Ed Winnick. Harvard took the lead in the top of the second. Herb Neal walked and Cliff Crosby was safe when the Cornell shortstop bobbled a double play ball.

Myles Huntington, playing his first game of the season, sacrificed the runners along and Neal and Crosby scored when the shortstop made another error, this time on a ball hit by Barry Turner. The Big Red got this run back in the same inning on a misjudged fly to center field which fell in for a triple and an infield out.

Crimson Leads in Third

Harvard moved ahead again in the third. Walks to Walt Coulson and Neal and a single by Ernie Mannino filled the bases. At this point starter Kenny Battles left the game and Bill Langan, another lefty, relieved.

Crosby hit a high fly which dropped into short center field, scoring Coulson, but Huntington flied out and Turner hit into a double play to end the inning. Cornell got an unearned run in the fourth, two in the sixth on three singles and two stolen bases, and another in the seventh. Ira Godin pitched the eighth.
