...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.

Kemble's stop of a line hit in the second inning, and a well executed double play by Leonard, Randall, and Matthews, were features...
