Today's will be the last game until the Penn contest next Saturday, and it is essential that Whitmore keep his hand in if he is to stop the triumphant march of the Quaker sluggers. After a slow start the Red and Blue nine got going and have now ten straight victories to their credit. The number among their victims such outstanding college teams as Yale, Princeton, and Brown.

J.D. Dudley '31 seems to have definitely established himself in the catcher's position by his timely hitting and excellent receiving in Tuesday's game with New Hampshire.
