Crusaders Topple Varsity With Three Tallies in Fifth

Harvard beat Yale and Brown on Soldiers Field Saturday, according to the if-men, when Coach Floyd. Stale's boys yielded only five runs to a strong Holy Cross nine and scored one themselves. Tivnan, hurler for the Crusaders, showed plenty of stuff, allowing only three scratch in field hits and whiffing four on strikes. The Holy Cross picket line had to make only three put-outs, testifying to Tivana's superior talent, and the infield handled the other outs.

Jack Wallace just didn't have it. His usual speed and control were lacking as he struck out only one batter while walking for. He also was hit solidly for nine hits and allowed the plate to be dented five times.

Crimson Draws First Blood

The Crimson jumped into a one-run lead in the third when Jack Forte walked, moved to second on Frank Pierce's binge and role home when Mal Allen dumped a pop fly to right. From then on, however, the by were completely hog-tied by Tivnan, who allowed one man to get on for the remaining six frames.

Wallace looked like he might be going to beats mighty Holy Cross as he moved into the fifth inning with a one run lead, but in that frame things blew apart. Bob Batten started things off with a long single to right field, moving to third on Bill Postman's best to left. Then came the big blow. With Don Swegan pulled out of position at short to cover second, Charlie Stephenson pushed a neat hit through the place vacated by the shortstop; Batten and Pohlman raced around to score before left fielder Allen could come up with the ball. Stephenson tried to stretch his him, and Wallace, who had finally got the ball from Allen, tried to catch him going into second but heaved the pellet far out into the center field daisies, allowing Stephenson to come home to score easily. H. C. dented the plate twice more in the eighth when they clustered three hits by John Walen, Ray Borowicz, and Pohlman.

Last week Wallace pitched his second successive shutont by whitewashing the Camp Edward team, four to nothing. Swegan paced the hitters with two safeties. Yesterday the Crimson played the Motor Torpedo Boat Squadron at Melville, and Saturday they travel down to Quonset to engage the Carrier Aircraft Unit.
