...University baseball squad at Pennsylvania has been practicing outdoors for several weeks under the direction of Coach Irwin. The outlook for a strong team is unusually bright, since but four of last year's team have left college; Collier, Huston, Shape, and Orbin. The new material is very promising, but from present indications the season will not develop a short stop equal to Orbin or Shape. The work of the past month has shown a weakness in batting and base running. Particular attention is now being given to base running, Pennsylvania's weakest point last year. The pitching staff remains...
After two months of practice under the direction of Gammons, the Brown baseball squad has shown marked improvement. The outlook, while not so bright as in some years, is not at all discouraging.

...knew him slightly, I can certainly say that this article is mostly one of rank falsehood. He may have had vegetarian notions about diet, but his illness was most certainly not brought on by lack of good food, in any sense of the word. He was a bright clever fellow and never showed any peculiarities in manner or dress. It is a shame that publicity has been made of his slight breakdown in health, an occurrence that is by no means uncommon to a comparatively large percentage of men in any great college...
