...Goodwin-A very fast bowler, effective on a slow wicket, and a hard hitter. Has played in the Philadelphia club for two years...
...Dann, Stagg, Spencer, McConkey, Noyes and Hunt, and McClintock, '90, Hayworth, '88, and Osborne, '88, S. Heyworth has pitched three years for his class team and played in the field in several 'Varsity games last year. He is a careful fielder and a hard but not very sure hitter.

The strongest batsmen remain, although the absence of Beaman, '85, the third baseman, who was a hard hitter, will be felt. With the old battery, Allen and Nichols, and a strong infield, and excellent candidates for the vacant positions, the prospect is that Harvard will be represented this year by a nine inferior in no respects to the championship nine of 1885. The candidates for the nine go into...
