There are no very promising candidates for the battery positions. The strongest point of the squad is in base-sliding and running. With conscientious work, the play should show marked improvement by the end of the holidays...
With the exception of Coolidge, Wendell, and Matthews, the Harvard, team batted very poorly, making in all only one earned run.
