...record number of candidates responded to Coach Clarke's call for candidates and daily practices in batting pitching and infield work are being held in the indoor cage. Aside from the pitchers, Coach Clarke has a good field to pick from and he will probably be able to make up for the loss of six university men by graduation last spring, as there are an unusually good lot coming up from the freshman and second teams of last season...
...team is fortunate in having three members of the last year's infield in College. Little need be said of the ability of Captain G. E. Abbot '17 as a player and a leader, and he forms, with J. T. Beal '17 and H. S. Bothfeld '17, the foundation of a fast and heady infield. The latter two men, however, will be forced to work hard to retain their old positions, as J. H. Enwright '19 is now in good standing with the Office, and will make a great bid for an infield position as he is a heavy hitter...
...condition in the outfield is much the same as it is in the infield in that one regular has been lost. By the graduation of F. P. Coolidge '16 the team lost a fast fielder and a hard hitter and it will not be easy to fill his place. G. A. Percy '18, who broke up more than one game last year by his timely extra-base hits, and J. Knowles '18, regulars on last year's team, can fill any position in the outfield. E. L. Casey '19, captain of last year's Freshman team, and C. Wyche...
With the return of eight "H" men from last year's intercollegiate champions, the outlook for the season is very promising. In the infield every position will be taken by a veteran except first, which is left vacant by the graduation of Captain H. L. Nash '16. Two outfielders, two pitchers and a catcher are also back from last year's nine...
...entire infield of the 1916 team, as well as the first string battery and one member of the outfield which played against the University are in college this year, Captain Vaughn and Early being the only members of last year's nine to have graduated. With such a nucleus to work with, Coach Lauder should find no trouble in satisfying the wishes of Yale baseball fans. Last year he took hold and developed a near-winner from some very meagre material. This year his chances for complete success are ten-fold greater...
