...most critical condition exists in the infield. With S. P. Clark '14 and D. J. P. Wingate '14 graduated, and with Captain Ayres out of the game, H. L. Nash '16 at first base remains as the only veteran. The 1917 Freshman team has thus far filled two of the gaps, and at present the positions seem settled, for C. S. Reed '17 at shortstop and G. E.

Cartmell '16, who was last year being developed to fill Wingate's shoes has not returned to College, having gone into business. Candidates who showed up promisingly last fall are M. B. Phillips '15, captain of last year's second team, G. E. Abbot '17, last year's Freshman captain, and C. S. Reed '17, also of last year's Freshman nine. The chance that R. C. Harte '17 may be used on second...
