YALE ENDS CRIMSON BASEBALL MASTERY, 8-7
When Harvard's baseball team returned to
action for the annual Class Day game against
Yale after a layoff of more than three weeks,
the sharpness which had characterized its play
in May was gone.
The pitchers had control problems, and all
too often, the fielders failed to make the play
on defense. Despite an eight hit attack which
included a double by Captain Gary Miller
(Hinckley, Minn.) and home run by Skip
Falcone (West Haven, Conn.), the Crimson's
skein of victories over Yale came to an end at
six as the Eli scored an 8-7 decision.
Harvard was chasing the Blue from the very
first inning, in which two hits, a walk and two
errors in the outfield combined to produce a
four-run jump for the visitors.
Sophomore Jim McCandlish (Salem, Ore.),
the young lefthander who had developed into
the ace of the pitching staff this Spring, failed
to survive the third inning. Two walks, a
sacrifice and a rtvo-out single by Charlie Skubas
produced a fifth Yale run in the second. When
McCandlish issued another walk to Bob Bart-
lett leading off the third inning, Coach Norm
Shepard brought on junior John Scott (Evan-
ston, Ili.).
Scott issued four walks, too, before he left
the game for a pinch-hitter in the eighth, and
the Eli picked up single runs in the third, sixth
and seventh.
The Crimson kept pecking away, but never
did succeed in catching up.
Harvard got back into the ball game with a
three-run rally in the third as Yale starter Bob
Kenney also ran into problems with his control.
Falcone was hit by a pitch to start the inning,

Lost 30,and Miller promptly came through with his
double. George Neville (Winchester, Mass.),
rifled a drive up the middle which produced
one run, and moved on down to second base
on the return throw to the infield. Joe O'Don-
nell's grounder to short enabled Miller to score
and Neville to move to third. McCandlish hit
back to the pitcher, but Neville came home
when the first baseman threw wildly, trying to
pick him off base after McCandlish had been
retired.
When Kenney hit Neil Houston (Cranston,
R.I.) with a pitch, Yale Coach Ethan Allen
brought Don Raymond in from left field to
take over the pitching duties, and he got our
of the inning without further damage despite
a walk to Tom Bilcdeau (Milton, Mass.), the
first man he faced.
Raymond had retired 11 consecutive men
before Falcone lined a shot to left field which
went for a homer in the Crimson sixth. Singles
by Miller and Neville and a walk to O'Donnell
loaded the bases, and Scott brought home a
second run with a sacrifice fly to left. But pinch-
hitter Mitch Sikora (W. Roxbury, Mass.)
grounded out to end the inning with the Crim-
son still trailing 7-5.
Harvard's sixth run came in the seventh on
Bilodeau's lead-off single, a single by Dan Hoot-
stein (Brookline, Mass.) and Falcone's long
fly to right. In the last of the ninth, two errors
around a walk brought the Crimson within a
run, but Neville grounded out to end the game.
So the final record for the season showed
12 victories and 11 defeats - not bad for a
campaign in which Shepard had to develop an
entirely new pitching staff.

0-1TEW CREW CAPTAIN,
DOCKERY NAMED TO
LEAD BASEBALL TEAM
James D. Tew, lone sophomore to make the
varsity boat a year ago and one of two juniors
in this year's crack Crimson combination, has
been elected captain of the Harvard heavyweight
crew for 1966. And versatile John Dockery has
been named by his teammates to lead the base-
ball team next Spring.
Dockery's election followed within hours his
selection as the winner of the Wingate Memorial
Trophy - the team's most valuable player
award.
The talented Brooklyn native has been Har-
vard's regular left fielder in each of the last two
seasons, and topped the team in stolen bases
both years. At various times during the '65
campaign, he filled in capably as both a catcher
and first baseman.
Tew, who rowed at No. 4 for the varsity
heavies this Spring, competed in the 1964
Olympic Games at Tokyo as a member of the
U.S. small boat squad, rowing in Harvard's
"four-with" that gained a berth after Vesper had
balked the bid of the varsity eight.
Tew is a native of South Lincoln, Mass. His
grandfather, J. D. Tew '05, was also a Crimson
oarsman.
