COLBY SHUT OUT, 7 TO 0

In a slow and uninteresting game, the University baseball team defeated Colby on Soldiers Field Saturday afternoon by the score of 7 to 0. The one encouraging feature of the game from a Harvard standpoint was Felton's pitching. He had good control and struck out ten men. Felton has averaged six bases on balls a game, but Saturday he did not give a single pass.

The University team did not hit effectively, its runs being largely the result of Colby's errors. Had James, the visiting pitcher been given good support, the score would have been much closer, for he allowed only five hits and kept them well scattered. There was not a hit for extra bases in the whole game.

The one feature which served to liven the contest was a double steal by Babson and Wingate in the fourth inning. It was a farcial play, both the Harvard and Colby players showing a lamentable lack of baseball brains. With Babson on third and Wingate on second, a "squeeze" play was in order, but caption Potter, who was at bat, did not hit and Babson was caught off the base. He finally managed to get back safely, but Wingate had taken too great a lead from second, and was trapped between second and third, almost forcing Babson. The play resulted in Babson finally scoring and Wingate reaching third, after nearly every member of the Colby team had handled the ball.

Harvard used fourteen players during the game in order to give as many men as possible a try-out.

The University team scored two runs in the first inning on errors by James and Bowker for Colby. Another tally was added in the second inning when Reeves singled, was sacrificed to second, advanced to third on a wild pitch and scored when G. Moore dropped Felton's fly. In the third inning, Reynolds was hit by the pitcher, stole second and scored on Gibson's single. Gibson scored, after stealing second, when Reeves singled. Harvard's other two tallies came in the fourth and sixth.
