...field, Foster took the place of Clark who is ill, and at first, McCornick was severely handicapped by a broken finger. Both men, however, played vey creditable ball, McCornick especially making some brilliant stops. Laughlin played his usual steady game in the field but failed to show up very well at the bat. At second, Haughton was decidedly off his form, being accountable for several loose plays which were more or less inexcusable. His batting also seems to have fallen off considerably during the past week...
...work done by the infield and the weak batting were disappointing. It is expected that a great change will be felt in the whole team should the work behind the bat be bettered. This will be done for next Saturday's game by putting in Thorne, should his injured finger allow him to play, or if not by calling out some entirely new material, Miller of the '96 class team, or Murphy '97, who played on the university team in his freshman year...

Davis especially did not play nearly the game he is capable of, and, though an injured finger is some excuse, his throwing is apt to be very wild.

Pote caught a good game, but hurt his finger and had to retire, Brown taking his place. He will, however, probably start in today. After four innings Cozzens stopped playing, owing to a lame arm, but he too will undoubtedly play today. Beside the regular coaches, J. Highlands '94 and B. Trafford '93 were out, Trafford paying special attention to the first...
...playing was rather better than usual, and both Cozzens and Haughton showed up well. Foster, who was a promising candidate for first base, has split his finger badly and will be unable to play for some time...
