''BERNY"- "-OGDEN
FEUD CONTINUED
Rival Penn and Swarthmore
Pitchers Meet on Garnet
Field Today

The Bernhardt- Ogden feud will be
continued at Swarthmore this afternoon.
when the Penn and Garnet mines engage
in their second battle of the season.
These two twrlers, Walter Bernhardt
and Johnny Ogden, rated as the best In
collegiate ranks, will oppose each other
again. and another pitchers duel is ex-
DeCted.
The Red and Blue moundsman at pres
ont has the advantage. as he has gained
one decision over his suburban rival.
That verdict was CLEANED in the opening
game Of the season at Franklin Field,
when Ogden was beaten ! to- O In four-
teen innings of torrid baseball. ,'fy
It is very likely that Coach Thomas
will start Mike Sweeney, the Atlantic
city star. at shortstop again. The
Quaker tutor is not satisfied with the
work Of johnny White, and It Is probable
that he will be benched. Morgan viii
play the third corner and Joe Straus
will continue in right field. viz
Today is visiting day for most OF the
Penn teams. The varsity and freshmen
crews are at Annapolis for the patriotic
regatta staged by the American Cole
giate Rowing Association on the Sew
ern, the runners of Lawson Robertson
! also are at the home of the Middies
for the annual dual track meet and the
baseball team will be received at Swarth-
more.
The only attraction at the home lot
| will be a lacrosse game with the Car
| Isle Indians The contest will start al
o'clock. Coach Goldsmith has not
had much success with his twelve this
season, but with Captain Rosasco back
in the lineup he hopes to make UP for
some of the defeats by trimming the
y Redskins today.
