...captain and first baseman, will be lost by graduation, but there are good candidates for the position. F. H. Burr '09, who played at first base in many of the early games, although somewhat slow, is a steady fielder and with more experience should develop into a reliable batter. G. F. Waters '08, who played first base on the University second nine this year, is also a promising candidate...
...graduate students from University athletic teams. His position will undoubtedly be the hardest to fill; G. F. Greene '07 has been regular substitute this year, and is now the most promising candidate for the position. He has good curves, but fields his position poorly and is a weak batter. Among the other candidates for pitcher are: C. E. Lincoln '08, D. O. Slater '08, N. K. Hartford '09, and S. D. Bush '09. D. C. Brennan '07 should also be a good...

More detailed instruction in base-running has been given, with special reference to the proper play for the batter under varying conditions. In this practice one of the players coaches the runners from first base. After each day's work the squad takes, a short run inside the Cage...

With the exception of an error by Kernan that resulted indirectly in a run for Brown, and a poor catch by Randall, the fielding of the University team was good. Kemble's stop of a line hit in the second inning, and a well executed double play by Leonard, Randall, and Matthews, were features...
...failing to get in front of the ball properly. In throwing to bases improvement has been shown both in speed and accuracy. The work of the catchers is careless and very unsatisfactory. Although they hold the ball fairly well, they are slow in stepping out from behind the batter on a throw to bases. A number of the pitchers have developed excellent speed but have not as yet gained good control. The batting of the whole squad has fallen off, owing to a tendency to offer at bad balls and to strike too hard...
