Judging by the weather, one would have thought that it was football season.

It was America's Pastime, however, that took place on Harvard's fields this

weekend.

The Crimson (7-16, 3-3) played three games this weekend, the first against Maine (15-4) on Friday and the following two against Cornell (6-9, 2-2), as a doubleheader, on Saturday.

The Black Bears triumphed on a cold, rainy day, 5-4, in a game cancelled in the top of the sixth inning by rain. Harvard salvaged a split against Cornell on Saturday, dropping the opener 3-1 in extra innings but surging back with a 17-5 victory in the afternoon.

Harvard originally had two more games scheduled yesterday against Princeton, but both were postponed by rain. Both contests will be replayed today at noon.

The Crimson started slowly and built momentum throughout the week. After committing six errors on Wednesday in a 7-2 loss against Rhode Island, Harvard had to battle through further pitching and defense woes in the

club's loss to Maine. Though the official final score of the game was 5-4, Maine actually tallied eight more runs in the top half of the sixth inning, all of which were discounted when the downpours began.
