Harvard's line-up for today's contest will have shortstop Ed Durso leading off, followed by LaCivita or outfielder Jimmy Thomas, Hogan, Stoeckel in the cleanup spot, St. Pierre if he's healthy, Geotz, Mackey, Thomas or LaCivita and catcher Dan Williams batting ninth. If St. Pierre does not play, then junior Scott Adzick will probably fill in at right field.

The outfield was one of Park's pre-season worries, as he had to fill the shoes of Kevin Hampe and Hal Smith who were lost to graduation. But when St. Pierre returns to the line-up, Park feels that with Geotz and Thomas he has a solid outfield.

The infield, which Park feels is the strongest unit in the club, didn't get as good a work out on the southern trip as was hoped since bad weather kept the fields in poor shape. Park, however, thinks that the defense will improve and is not concerned.

Park took nine rookies on the southern swing, among them sophomores Goetz, Pura and Linehan as well as Fran Cronin, who was the victim of a wild pitching machine which threw one in his eye. He has since recovered from the blow.

"The rookies are going to help us," Park said, "but it may take some time."

Several rookies will be getting a trial by fire today, as Harvard comes up against powerful Boston College. The Eagles will throw ace Bill Ruane at the Crimson, while Park has both O'Malley and Holt ready for the opener and will decide tomorrow who he will start after going over the scouting reports.

Park will have to clear up the squad's remaining question marks soon, because from now on Harvard is playing for keeps.
