...infield is still unsettled. In practice the last few days Milholland and S. P. Clark, both of last year's Freshman team, have been covering first base most of the time, Captain Potter and Gibson, second base: Desha and Curtis, shortstop, although Reynolds is being tried out at this position, and Wingate and Coon, third base. A shifting about of the men in order to secure the best batting combination is, however, not at all unlikely...
Both the University and Freshman baseball squads held practice on the Freshman diamond yesterday afternoon. The Yale team also started outdoor practice yesterday, but the field was too soft for infield work...
...Sexton, without the advantage of previous knowledge of the men, and without any extraordinary array of material, turned out a team which defeated Yale at Cambridge and at New Haven, rendering a game in New York unnecessary.

Material for first base appears to be difficult to find. Milholland, first base on last year's Freshman team, may fit into the position. Felton and Beebe, both of whom...
...that time. In addition, Boyle and Waterman, who held the Yale freshmen to a 1 to 1 the for 13 innings this spring, will be valuable assets to the University squad.

The infield will remain practically intact, with Potter at second base, Desha playing short stop and Gibson at third. The latter will have two strong rivals for his position in Coon, who has played there many games this season, and Wingate, captain of the 1914 team. Reynolds is the only other...
...Freshman team has developed fairly rapidly under the coaching of W. A. Lawrence '11. Captain Wingate has been playing on third base all the spring and has been hitting well. Harvey, Curtis and Milholland complete the infield. Reynolds has played a consistently good game behind the bat. The team's greatest weakness has been in outfielders and pitchers. Boyle has done the best work as a pitcher and will probably start today's game...
