To come up to the present, the team lost the opening league contest to Yale by a 4-3 score, being held to four hits by Ned Jennison, a promising Yale third-string pitcher. Four errors by the left side of the Green infield did not materially help Gunnar Hollstrom's fine pitching and even the fact that little Albie Booth himself erred three times could not turn the tide in Dartmouth's favor.
On the Southern trip, the team played with an admittedly experimental infield, and some of the pitching turned in was good and some bad. Myllykangas showed his old skill in the Haverford game, which Dartmouth won, by hurling six hitless innings to close the contest. Hollstrom blanked the Quantico Marines 5-0 in an exceptional performance, but the relief pitching was not up to standard.
And that is what will weaken this Dartmouth team. Beyond two fine pitchers, Tesreau has found nothing of varsity calibre, and in these days when college ball teams are playing three games in four days, as Dartmouth will this month all against league opponents, one of those games is bound to be a free hitting affair.
