HARVARD ENGAGES W. & M. TEAM TODAY

William and Mary, the Virginia college that has figured so largely in the Harvard athletic schedules of the past few years, will send its baseball team to Soldiers Field this afternon to engage the Crimson nine. The game is called for 4 o'clock.

Coach Mitchell will start the lineup that first saw action in the Brown tilt last Saturday and that proved so powerful against Holy Cross on Wednesday. The initial mound assignment lies between F. B. Cutts '28 and R. R. Ketchum '29.

It was announced that Willard Howard '28 might pitch for Harvard some time during the game. Two years ago Howard was a regular at shortshtop on the University nine, but was struck in the eye by a batted ball in the Princeton game, and has seen little service since. The coaches have been training him as a hurler this season, and Coach Mitchell said last night that he might fill a relief pitching role if the visitors hit the starting twirler hard. Howard pitched on his school team at Middlesex.

In their previous meeting this season, Harvard scored an 11 to 9 triumph over William and Mary at Williamsburg in the spring vacation. Barbee and Cutts were blasted off the mound by the Indians, but the Crimson hitters rallied to tally five times in the ninth. Ketchum held his opponents safe in the final inning.
