TERRIER ASSAULT IN EIGHTH DOWNS UNIVERSITY NINE

Boston University's all-round play proved superior to the brand of ball offered by the University nine on Soldiers Field Saturday, and the Crimson diamond schedule started with an 8 to 6 verdict for the invaders. Six errors largely off set the fair hurling of Barbee, 1928 mound ace, who officiated for eight innings, and held the Terriers to seven safe blows. Only seven hits were made by the Crimson artillery, and these were supplemented by only two B. U. miscues.

Loose fielding allowed the B. U. nine to assume a two run lead in the first. Two were out when Todd dropped Higginbotham's Texas leaguer after a long run. Moulton walked after DeRham's muff of a foul had given him a life; Barbee, after handling Jenkins carefully, made the mistake of grooving what was to have been the third strike, and the Terrier backstop promptly plastered the ball along the left-field foul line for two bases.

Seventh Inning Raily Fatal

Harvard tied the score within the next two stanzas, two base on balls, a sacrifice, and an out accounted for a run in the first, while a walk, a hit, and some weird throwing, gave the University its second tally in the following inning.

Two runs in the third, with only one for B. U. gave the Crimson a one point margin which it maintained until the seventh. The invaders tied it at this point with a single, an error, a sacrifice and another single. In the eighth, the Terriers preceded to put the game on ice. Two were out when Kincaide reached second on Sullivan's toss into the stands, MacDonald singled, and O'Brien hit a home run. In the ninth the Terriers added their final marker, so that Harvard's eleventh hour rally, which netted two runs, fell short of tying the count.
