Morse will pitch this afternoon and with Reid as a back-stop, Cornell should find the Harvard battery an unusually effective one. It may be reasonably expected that the nine will play a fast game, as the poor work in the Lafayette game seems to have been a reaction following on the incessant hard work that the nine has been going through for some time. Aside from Cozzens in centre field in place of Lynch the 'Varsity will bat in its usual order...
...There are now about twenty-five men playing and from this number will be chosen the regular 'varsity team and the reserves. Three regular players of last year's team have failed to return; they are Blakeley (capt.), third base; Voight, right field; Radcliffe, catcher. Radcliffe was the strongest back-stop Pennsplvania had and his loss will be badly felt.

Sherrill is the best catcher...

Williams the other candidate for catcher is a good back-stop, throws hard and accurately, but so far has been weak at the bat. The pitchers are Forsyth, Altman, Bradley and Hitzrot. They all have speed and fairly good control. Bradley has been playing well in the field, but has not pitched any owing to a lame arm. The showing made by the others has been about equal. Otto, the first baseman...
