DEAN ACADEMY DEFEATS SECONDS IN CLOSE GAME

In a closely contested game yesterday on Soldiers Field the Harvard second baseball nine went down to a 7 to 3 defeat before the strong Dean Academy team. Phineas Tobe '32, Harvard pitcher, pitched a rather weak game, allowing the visitors to collect ten hits, six of which combined in the fifth stanza to net the Franklin schoolboys five runs.

At the start of the fateful fifth frame, the first four men hit safely, and additional runs were scored on a Harvard error, followed by a timely two-base hit by a Dean batter. A second Crimson blunder in the sixth inning netted the visitors another run. Aside from these disastrous innings, the seconds played a good brand of ball against their opponents, who have a powerful club this year.

The Dean coach was forced to use two pitchers, Smith and Simpson, to quell the Harvard batsmen, and these main-stays of the Dean pitching staff successfully turned back all Crimson efforts R. S. Ogden '31 was the only Harvard batter to hit consistently, getting two singles and a triple out of three times at bat.
