With Leonard on the bench, the outcome of today's game is by no means assured. Since the southern trip, the University team has been coming along nicely and there has been a general improvement in the work. There is lots of life in the team, and the men are beginning to play with a little more confidence. The hitting has been exceptionally good, no less than five of the players having percentages close to 300 or over; and on the bases the men are doing better. Currier's catching is as energetic and effective as formerly and his throwing...
...University team has had the advantage of a long southern trip, while Columbia has only played two games thus far.

The rest which the squad was given the day before seemed to put lots of life into the men and the warm weather, too, helped considerably to produce fast ball. Briggs was out for the first time since the Southern trip and took light work, but Leonard did not report, preferring to take no chances with his strained tendon. They will probably both be in the line-up on Saturday against Dartmouth...
