Baseball Team Falls, 14-5

Dartmouth, the best baseball team in the Ivy League, bombed the Crimson at Hanover yesterday afternoon, 14-5. The Indians jumped off to a 12-0 lead after three innings, and it was not until late-inning homers by Carter Lord and Bob Welz that Harvard got on the scoreboard.

No sooner had Bob Lincoln started pitching than Dartmouth started scoring, and the Indians had tallied six times before the sophomore rightly departed with still only one out in the first inning. Sophomore lefthander Tom Munzel quelled the uprising but was rocked by another six-run rally in the third.

Dartmouth quieted down after that, but added two runs for emphasis in its last time at bat off Crimson pitcher Larry Melfa. Dartmouth lefthander Jim Shaw was breezing along toward a shutout until Lord, pinch-hitting for Munzel in the seventh inning blasted a home run to center field.

The Crimson added two more in the eighth when Welz hit a two-run blast, scoring George Neville who had singled ahead of him.

A final gasp produced Harvard's last two runs in the ninth. A single by John Dockery and walks to Jeff Grate and Neville set up the ducks for a two-run line shot by Jim Tobin.

The win moved Dartmouth into second place behind Army in the Eastern League, with a 5-1 record. Harvard's league mark is now 3-5.
