FIRST YEAR NINE FACES PURPLE

The Holy Cross Freshman baseball team will invade Soldiers Field this afternoon in an attempt to put an end to the winning streak of the Crimson first year sluggers.

Both teams have excellent records to date and the indications are for a very close contest. On the basis of comparative scores the two teams seem to be very evenly matched. Holy Cross having administered an 11 to 1 defeat to the Exeter nine, while the schoolboys bowed to the Crimson first year men by a 12 to 1 score.

W. H. Macllale '31 is slated to demound duty against the Crusaders, with Robert Gilmore '31 serving in the relief role. A shift in the Crimson lineup sends S. L. Batchelder '31 from first to the catcher's position, while B. H. Ticknor '31 will take care of the initial sack A. D. Weeks '31 has replaced E. J. Des Roches '31 at second.

The Harvard 1931 lineup follows:

B. H. Bassett '31, c.f.: Robert Gilmore '31, r.f.: R. S. Ogden '31, 3b.: E. H. McGrath '31, s.s.: E. B. Samborski '31, l.f.: B. H. Ticknor '31, 1b.: S. L. Batchelder '31, c., A. D. Weeks '31, 2b: W. H. MacHale '31, p
