...Safe arrivals at first base (this includes bases on balls, hits, and all other times the initial sack is reached...
Another position is left vacant by the graduation of Schofield, left fielder. Although the loss of this player will not be felt as much as the loss of Riddell at first base, still it will be difficult to develop as all-round a ball player as this left fielder. In these two positions Yale is weakest. Practically all the rest of the members of the team, that last year won something like 27 of the 33 games played, are in college...
Captain Blossom at short, Cornish at second, and Reilly at third base will form one of the very best infields on any college team this season. Middlebrook and Pumpelly will again play centre and right field respectively. Two of last year's battery squad are lost by graduation, but a strong staff is left. H. B. Scott, a pitcher and Burdett, a catcher, were members of the class of 1913, so are lost to the team this year. The veteran pitchers are Gile and Brown, both of whom can be counted on to equal the good work done last year...
Seven members of the 1913 baseball nine are back in college and will be eligible for positions this spring. They are Wall, catcher, Wood and Copeland, pitchers: Captain Rhoads, first base; Gill, second base; Crew and Laird, outfielders. Wood and Copeland were the mainstay of the pitching staff last season, but their work was inconsistent. Of the two, Copeland is more dependable, while Wood is more effective spasmodically. From last year's freshman nine Lamberton, Deyo, and Link are expected to show up well, especially the two first-named. Behind the bat Kelleher of the undefeated 1916 team is expected...
...infield Captain Rhoads is the only likely candidate for first base. Gill, second base on last spring's varsity, is liable to be shifted to short, leaving R. B. Peacock '16 probable for the keystone position. Law and O'Kane, both of the Freshman infield, will also be strong contenders for second or short. Third base is very likely to be difficult to fill. Shea '16 played an exceedingly good game last spring but his ankle, which was broken in football season, may keep him out of the game...
