Crimson Nine Routs Bulldogs, 17-3, Splitting Season Series

The 195th game of the Harvard-Yale baseball series went to Harvard yesterday afternoon when the Crimson scored a 17 to 3 rout over the visitors from New Haven. It was the 93rd Catnap triumph, achieved before a partisan crowd of 6700 reunions.

Ira Godin, a right handed senior, did the big job for Coach Stuffy McInnis, who got his first win over Yale. Godin, master throughout, gave up only three hits, and set a new strikeout record for the College, 319 for his three years. Godin broke his own mark of 307, fanning 12 in his nine inning stint.

The contest took on its high scoring complexion in the second inning when a walk to Cliff Crosby started a chain of events that was eventually to net the Crimson ten runs on only four hits. Fifteen men came to bat in the 27-minute half inning and when it was over the keeper of the score board was trying to figure out how to put up the total. The Harvard box score:   ab  r  h  po  a  e Foynes, cf  3  3  1  4  0  0 Kobush, cf  0  0  0  0  0  0 Kenny, cf  0  0  0  0  0  0 Caulfield, 1b  3  2  2  3  1  0 Kenary, 1b  0  0  0  1  0  0 White, ss  0  2  3  3  0  0 Cabot, ss  0  0  0  0  0  0 Crosby, c  0  3  0  13  10  0 Akillian, lf  5  1  3  0  0  0 Ellis, lf  0  0  0  0  0  0 Robinson, rf  5  2  2  1  0  0 Emmons, rf  0  0  0  0  0  0 Carmen, rf  0  0  0  0  0  0 Huntington, 3b  4  2  2  1  0  0 Lucus, 3b  0  0  0  0  1  0 Cavanaugh, 2b  4  1  1  0  1  0 Young, 2b  0  0  0  0  0  0 Hickey, 3b  0  0  0  0  0  0 Godin, p  5  1  1  1  1  0 Total  32  17  15  27  4  2

Bonny Akillian was the big man in the inning with two hits, but Crosby, who was allowed two walks, was the only man who managed to score twice. Crosby's second tally came on a steal home, his third of the season.

Captain John Caulfield, who got two hits for three times at bat, moved up to take over the Eastern Intercollegiate Baseball League batting crown from Navy's Gene Saylor. Caulfield finished the league season with a .438 average, 21 points higher than that of Saylor.

The game also insured the Crimson of fourth place in the league with a record of five wins and two defeats. Yale finished fifth with five and three. Army, which won the league title, played two more games than the local nine and won them both, finishing with seven victories and two defeats. The Harvard games with Brown and Dartmouth, which could have brought about a league tie, were rained out.

The Crimson batting power, dormant Monday when the Elis took the first game of the series 2 to 1, burst forth with a total of 15 hits. John White and Benny Akillian led the attack with three hits apiece, with White's total including a three-run homer in the third.

With this Yale game Stuffy McInnis completed his second season as coach of the Crimson. Boasting nine wins in fifteen starts, McInnis' charges proved to be a team which could hit and field, although not at the same time. After a slow start, the squad went on the road, and, playing only one home game in the last nine, it managed to win seven in that stretch.

After the game Godin announced that he had received offers from six major league teams. Although he has not decided definitely which team to join, he revealed that he would prefer the American League. This would narrow the field down to the Red Sox, Yankees, and Detroit. His decision will be forthcoming either today or tomorrow.

Coach McInnis was optimistic about Godin's chances in the majors. The former first baseman of the Athletics' "100,000 infield" said that the senior has poise, speed, and control, and should do well.
