...University team is still far from a satisfactory stage of development in either fielding, batting or base-running. The fielding has often been sharp and fast, but shows too many lapses to be called reliable. The batting throughout the season has been weak, though in the last three games some improvement has been evident. The base-running has been at times brilliant, at other times very stupid, and in general erratic. Coburn and Stillman have been pitching with fair effectiveness, and Clarkson's work has, as usual, been very strong, though he has hardly reached as yet his highest point...

The passing, though inaccurate at times, has greatly improved and is now fairly fast. Mr. J. A. Leighton of Hobart College, R. Wynne '02M., a member of last year's team, and Mr. H. McConaghy, of the Crescent Athletic Club of New York, have had charge of the coaching...
...practice yesterday afternoon, the usual batting work for all the men took place, special care being taken in the bunting. The fielding practice which followed was fast and accurate...
