With the verve and dispatch which has always characterized it in such matters, the CRIMSON varsity softball team defeated a weak Crimson Printing Company ten, 23-2, on Soldiers Field.
Completing a short but brilliant flurry of sporting activity which had earlier seen a stirring crew victory over the Harvard Lampoon, the CRIMSON scored fifteen runs in the first inning but just one in each frame thereafter--in a gracious gesture to keep the score down.
The printers scored their two runs in the ninth when Call, who spun a no-hitter, walked five men to give the luckless CPC its only bright moment of the day.
It would be impossible to single out any individual performances, although long home runs by Dan Pollack and Flush Call deserve mention. The most unusual incident of the game occurred in the fifth inning when the CRIMSON's captain, and erstwhile Commodore, Bartle Bull collided with veteran Tampa Jim Benkard in the outfield.
Although severely injured, Bull refused to bow out and received a standing ovation from the crowd at the end of the game for his display of pluck. "Pluck is my middle name," stated Bull after the contest.
