HARVARD NINE WINS FROM VANDERBILT

Although the Vanderbilt baseball team came all the way from Tennessee and nicked the delivery of Willard Howard '28 for 11 hits on the Soldiers Field diamond yesterday, it could not win the ball game. Four hits, only two of which counted in the scoring, was the extent of the damage done by the University batsmen to Creson, the visiting hurler, yet they took the laurel crown at the end of the proceedings by a score of 7 to 4.

The Southerners' shortstop had a bad day in the field, being guilty of five misplays, and very nearly presented the game to Harvard by himself. A passed ball, a couple of stolen bases and a balk aided in the Crimson victory.

Three of the four Harvard hits were registered in the fourth inning, when four runs crossed the plate. Howard led off with a single and Burns was hit by a pitched ball. Chase dribbled one to the infield and Creson cut off Russell's toss to Brooks, covering second. All the runners were safe, and Zarakov hit to shortstop, who tossed Howard out at home. Lord drove a mighty triple to the outfield's limits, cleaning the sacks, and scoring himself on a sacrifice fly by Chauncey.

In the first of the fifth Ellison watched Armistead's long triple sail over his head, and then was unable to reach Oliver's Texas Leaguer that dropped in front of him, scoring Armistead.

A ninth inning rally of the visiting batters drove Howard off the mound and gave R. H. Booth '27 a chance to show his skill. With one out Oliver doubled and took third on a passed ball. Creson walked and when Spears singled, Oliver scored and Creson moved up a base. Jones sacrificed and Owen hit, bringing in Creson and Spears. After McKibbon's single, Howard left, and Booth entered. He threw one ball to Russell, and the first sacker popped to Zarakov, ending the encounter.
