...Stephenson '06, captain and first baseman, will be lost by graduation, but there are good candidates for the position. F. H. Burr '09, who played at first base in many of the early games, although somewhat slow, is a steady fielder and with more experience should develop into a reliable batter. G. F. Waters '08, who played first base on the University second nine this year, is also a promising candidate...
...most, the three centre positions being the only ones satisfactorily provided for. The effect which the new playing rules will have upon the kind of players needed can only be learned by an actual scrimmage, the spring practice giving no cue to the real differences in the game. Although it is true that speed and agility will be essential, nevertheless weight, especially in the line cannot be sacrificed to those ends. It is probable that weight will be even more necessary than under the old rules, since the rush line defense has been weakened and the line will be forced...

Grant '07, in the pole-vault, B. T. Stephenson '08 and W. A. Hanley '07 in the shot put, and G. E. Roosevelt '09 in the high jump, have all won points this year...
...went about two miles together. A slow stroke was kept by both the crews. The two four-oared crews had a race of one and one-half miles this afternoon. The freshmen started a length ahead but were a length behind at the finish. The work was very smooth, although no time was given...
