Penn Loses Close One
Arthur Boisseau was sent after the Pennsylvania game, and he turned in the best pitching performance he has ever shown as a Dartmouth team member. Boisseau shaded Powhida in a bitter battle and although the Quakers picked up ten hits they were well scattered over the route: It remained for Hank Barber to furnish the dramatic touch, and with a man on second in the seventh inning, Barber limped to the plate and smashed a single through the box to score the winning run. He hobbled down to first base and was through for the day, Smith O'Brien stepping into a varsity game for the first time. The score was 3-2, and although Dartmouth made only four hits off Powhida, they were bunched just at the right time, and Roald Morton and Ken Weeman had the credit of batting in the two other runs.
Dartmouth took the field against Yale the following day, using the same lineup which had carried them through the previous two games. Way. Thompson went after the first game against Broaca, and surprisingly enough the Green hit freely, for at the end of the sixth inning Thompson had a 4-1 lead and was pitching masterful baseball. But suddenly he lost control and was touched for three runs in the seventh and out he went. Boisseau, who had pitched a full game the day before, came into the box and was hit for three more runs in the eighth and so became the losing pitcher for the second game that he had essayed relief work. Once in the lead, Broaca became a changed player, and Dartmouth did not even have a look in for the last three innings.
The second game was a little looser than the first, for the Indians hit Ned Wheeler of Yale freely, and Yale was pecking away at the offerings of Bob Miller. In the eighth inning the score was 8-7 in the Green's favor, and Tesreau sent Hank Barber up to bat for Miller. As in the first game of the double header, Barber fanned. Arthur Boisseau again came in to take up the pitching assignment, and this time he stood Yale up for the remainder of the game, and the Green won by a 9-7 score.
