...Stephenson '06, captain and first baseman, will be lost by graduation, but there are good candidates for the position. F. H. Burr '09, who played at first base in many of the early games, although somewhat slow, is a steady fielder and with more experience should develop into a reliable batter. G. F.

Owing to the short time that the team has been able to hold outdoor practice, the coaches have not been able to develop much team play. However, the work during the past few days has been encouraging and gives promise of a good team later...
