Paced by three extra-base hits by right-fielder Joe DeChellis, the freshman baseball team edged Holy Cross, 2-1 at home yesterday for its second victory in as many tries.

Aside from DeChellis's double, triple, and home run -- giving him six for seven in the first two games -- yesterday's contest was a pitcher's duel between Harvard's Dave Fierke and Tom Soucie of the visitors. Each whiffed ten batters and allowed just seven hits. The freshmen had opened their season last Friday with a 7-6 win over Boston College in 10 innings.

The frosh tennis team overcame the absence of newly-elected captain Clarke Kawakami to coast to a 7-2 victory over Brown. The easy win gave the freshman netmen a 3-0 record. Larry Terrell, at first singles, led the way with a 6-0, 7-5 conquest of the Bruins' Malcolm Chester. Pete Abrams, playing in Kawakami's second singles slot, waltzed to a 6-2, 6-0 victory.
