Northeastern apparently makes a habit of upsetting favored Harvard teams. Last Fall the lowly Huskie hockey squad rebounded from an 11-0 defeat by the Crimson to nearly ruin the varsity's NCAA chances, topping the sextet, 5-3.

Yesterday afternoon they were at it again. Occupying the cellar of the Greater Boston League, the Huskies came up with a seven-run seventh inning to upset the Crimson baseball team, 8 to 6.

The varsity apparently had the game well under control, leading 5 to 1 going into the seventh, but in that inning the roof fell in on lefthander Gerry Emmet, making his first start for the Crimson.

A walk and a hit batsman put runners on first and second with nobody out, and when Tom Bergantino could not handle Fred Beckett's grounder to third, the bases were loaded. John Quinlan and Mike Dvorchak slapped out a pair of singles scoring three runs and sending Emmet to the showers with the score 5 to 4 and the tying and tie-breaking runs on base.

Byron Johnson came on in relief only to be greeted by a scorching line drive down the third base line which Bergantino speared. In the fourth inning, Erickson had blasted a home run into the deepest reaches of left field.

Bob Girouard, Tom Flaherty, and Dick Conley then singled in succession, giving Northeastern an 8-5 lead. The Huskies never threatened again; but the damage had already been done since the varsity never regaind the touch which had produced five runs in the first three innings.

The Crimson scored twice in the first on Northeastern's wildness, once in the second on a double by Mouse Kasarjian and a single by Bergantino, and twice in the third on singles by Kent Hathaway, John Davis, and George Harrington.
