...game was not remarkable for any brilliant plays, yet was, on the whole, an interesting one. It illustrated the fundamental principle that every freshman nine is prone to weakness at critical points, and that they cannot get too much practice. The batting of the freshmen was fair, but their infield, with the exception of second, was very weak and needs strengthening. The battery work, with the exception of the throwing to bases was good. The following men excelled at the bat: Codman, Bates and McKean. The fielding of Pratt was positively brilliant, while that of Train, Holland and Ponde...
...field for a week and a half, and the team has played in two practice games. Judging from the practice work and the playing in the games, Harvard will have a very weak team in the field this year, unless a decided improvement is made. The fielding of the infield has been very poor, most of the errors in the games being inexcusable. From the present outlook the team will lose the championship through poor fielding. - Boston Herald...
...following are trying for the other infield positions: Wiestling, '87; Coolidge, '87; Loud, 87; Holden, '88; Gallivan, '88; Morgan, '89; Clark, '89; Young, '89; Mumford, '90, and Miller, L. S. Wiestling has played short stop for two years. He is a strong batter, and last season was the best base runner in the college association. He is a swift and accurate thrower, but he is not quite sure on grounders. Coolidge and Lord have played on their class team for three years. Batting has always been their weakest point, but in this they both improved greatly last year. Holden...
...work of the Yale nine this winter will be mainly in batting, to which especial attention will be given. Those trying for the infield, however, will have practice in ground work and throwing several times each week. Different batteries will also be set to work as soon as advisable. There will be no compulsory work in the gymnasium at present...
...large. For the work of the battery must remind us all of the Brown game of last year. We are now a tie with Yale for first place, and we feel confident that no lower position will be accorded us by the result of the scheduled games. Yet the infield must be more careful in their play. There is no reason for the one run which was given Brown yesterday, but the loose work of the infield. If this fault is remedied, the championship will be ours...
