...University baseball nine won its first game of the season by defeating the University of Vermont in a raggedly played game yesterday afternoon by a score of 9 to 4. Although the fielding of the team was crude, and the base-running at times stupid, on the whole the work accomplished was promising; for despite the many careless errors the men played with dash and determination...
...position at first base McCarty played a steady game, and seldom missed a difficult catch. At second McCall played with confidence. Simons at shortstop was nervous and unreliable, but gained in this respect toward the end of the game. Stephenson and Leonard were in their old positions at catcher and third base, and both played steady games.

McCall sent Leonard home, and Kibbey in an attempt to catch Simons at third...

Throughout the early work the fielding and base-running have been fairly satisfactory as the new men have worked hard and progressed accordingly. As long as the men were confined to the Cage no advanced work was possible, and since outdoor practice began less than a week ago the wet ground and cold weather have interfered with...
