Ayres prepared at Montclair High School, where he played third base on the team. He played first base on the 1915 Freshman team, and the same position on the University year before last an part of last season. Last spring, in the later games, he was shifted to third base H. L. Nash '16 going to first. Ayres proved an able third baseman and with probably play in that position all third season. He is 20 years old, 6 feet, inches tall, and weighs 152 pounds...
...first inning, with two men out, Clark, Ayres, Gannett, Hardwick, and Frye made hits in succession; Gannett's was for two bases. Four runs resulted. Yale scored two in the same inning from a base on balls, a steal, two hits and a sacrifice fly. In the third Ayres doubled and scored on Gannett's single. Hardwick also made a hit, but Gannett was thrown out when he tried to make third on it. In Yale's half, Way's hit, an error, an out, and a base on balls filled the bases Whitney then replaced Mahan. The next batter...

Hunter has recently replaced Mudge at catch because of his greater accuracy at throwing, but the two will divide the Harvard series. Swihart has crowded Pumpelly from first base, the latter proving deficient in the handling of batted balls. The rest of the infield is composed of veterans--Captain Blossom at shortstop, Reilly at third, and Cornish at second, who have been the backbone of the nine all season...
Middlebrook is particularly valuable as a base runner and a fielder. He has over a dozen more steals to his credit than his nearest rival, averaging two a game, and in two games has managed to steal four times each. In the field, he is not credited with a single error, in spite of the fact that he covers an unusually large territory. To offset these virtues he is, however, weak...
