Eliot and Dudley battled furiously yesterday in House baseball to see who could make the lowest errors; neither team could show a definite edge in this department and the game ended in a 12 to 12 tie after eight sloppy innings had been played.

The winning run came as Pete Strauss singled, advanced to third on two errors, and scored on Rick Simon's long fly.
In softball, Eliot, with Ed Suss pitching, beat Dudley, 16 to 9.
