...contest, brings to light a new hero, the man who "came through" when needed. Sometimes it is the recognized star of the team who justifies his reputation. More often, it is the mediocre man who rises to the occasion. It is easy to find men who can field and bat well in practice, but the real player is the man who keeps up his high standard under the most trying conditions.

Greatest among the causes of the nine's success is its power at the bat. At present there are four men hitting over .360, while the team as a whole has an average of .242.

Easton, in right field, is probably as good a man as Gannett in the field, but his hitting has been noticeably inferior. Yale will doubtless miss Kranes in that position.
