1923 OVERWHELMS ELI FRESHMEN--SIX RUNS IN LUCKY SEVENTH

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

NEW HAVEN, CONN., May 31.--Six runs scored in the lucky seventh broke a 5 to 5 deadlock and won the game for the Freshmen, when they defeated the Yale yearlings this afternoon by the score of 15 to 5. Thayer and Owen singled and Bancroft was passed, filling the bases. Lee doubled and brought in two men, making the score 7 to 5. After fanning Eddy, Case, the Eli pitcher, went wild, passed one man and hit another, again filling the bases. An error by the Yale shortstop let in two more runs. On the next play, Withington was forced at the plate. Thayer and Owen again hit safely but were left on bases, when Bancroft struck out.

Up to the seventh the game was a free swat-fest, with Yale leading nine hits to five, but after the seventh, the Yale team team went up in the air, and it was only a question of how high the score would go, the Elis getting only one man on bases in three innings. Four more runs were scored in the ninth, when a second string Yale pitcher received poor support from his infield.

Batteries: Owen, and Koegan; Eddy, VanSchoeder and Dann.
