Mort Waldstein Pitching For Athletics Farm Team

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Mort Waldstein set Harvard records as a star pitcher last spring, and was so good that he's gone now. Pitching this summer for a farm team of the Philadelphia Athletics, he will be ineligible for intercollegiate athletics after this.

But in the case of baseball at least, the ineligibility doesn't make too much difference. Waldstein had earlier told Coach Floyd Stahl that he planned to graduate in February, long before next year's baseball season begins. Since he was not here this summer, last spring was his last period of Crimson competition.

Hopes that the big boy might come back to football after a year's layoff are squelched by his Athletics' position. A member of the Marine reserve, he will probably be in uniform immediately after finishing College.
