...abundance of good material is present in the infield of both teams. The shifting of R. P. Hallowell '20 from the outfield to third base has rounded out an already strong infield for the University team, which is composed of L. P. Jones '19 at first, J. B. Wolverton '20 at second and R. E. Gross '19 at shortstop. The Freshman infield also promises well, with H. P. King or J. Holmes, Jr., at first base, G. H. Dorr or W. B. Frothingham at second, J. T. Baldwin at shortstop, and R. J. Philips, T. J. Meehan...
...Yale there is much enthusiasm for the baseball team. Captain Lyman, a substitute on last year's nine, is back in college, and will play in the infield. Gage, Boyd and Gordon seem the logical men for the outfield positions. As yet, however, there have been no outstanding battery candidates...
...baseball teams reported yesterday afternoon for the initial warming-up of the season. Practice started at 2.15 o'clock in the cage, and lasted for an hour and a half. At the conclusion of the workout Coach Duffy expressed himself as satisfied with the material so far offered. The infield will not start practice before March...
With good men competing for every position, Coach Ball should easily turn out a fast infield. W. F. Manley is the leading candidate for first base, and has been covering this sack in fine form in the cage. T. S. Woods, although inexperienced, has been hitting the ball hard in practice, and G. E. Ladd has also been showing up well. At second base J. R. Wolverton appears to be the best man, and is a hard hitter. H. D. Ward has been playing regularly on Team B at second and will be a strong contender for this position...
With the aforementioned exception of pitchers, there is a wealth of good material for every position in both infield and out. Law, Talley and Shea, veterans at the infield positions of the 1916 team, have been lost through graduation. These men had had several years' experience on the university squad, but in playing ability they were not more than fairly reliable, and it will probably be easy to fill their positions satisfactorily. Bauhan, captain of the 1919 team, will probably be tried out at shortstop, which position will be vacated by shifting Captain Driggs to catcher...
