...fielding indifferent, except in the Wesleyan game, which Yale played without an error. The infield does not play well together, and has trouble in handling pop flies and bunt hits. Sharpe at first is steadily improving, and Quinby makes few misplays at second, but does not cover enough ground. Camp and Brown, at short and third, play brilliantly though somewhat erratically. The outfield has shown considerable improvement, and the men are learning to cover more ground. In the last two games the experiment was tried of playing Sullivan in the outfield and Cunha behind the bat in order...
...will of Mr. Augustus Van Wickle, a graduate of Brown University, twenty five thousand dollars was bequeathed to build gateways on the Princeton campus in honor of Nathaniel Fitz Randolph, who gave the ground on which the college was originally built. Another important gift is the Charles Ewing Green Memorial Alcove in the Chancellor Green Library. The photographs of the University Library have been chosen by the American Library Association to form part of the collection at the Paris Exposition, exhibiting the most thoroughly equipped libraries in America...

Scrub baseball and lacrosse games are being played there now, and it is hoped that during the summer a cricket crease...

Having been built a year ago last August this track is now thoroughly packed, and with use it will become fully as good as the old track on Holmes Field.

...second and, next to Camp, did the best work with the bat. Brown covered third base satisfactorily and played a brilliant game against the University of Maryland. The outfielders, Guernsey, Barnwell and Lyon, at first showed a tendency to be slow in starting and did not cover much ground, but they improved considerably and played good baseball in the last games of the trip. Their batting was not so strong as that of the infielders...
