Cricket practice is still being held in the Cage, though it is hoped that the ground will be in fit condition by the end of the week for out-door work. During the long period of indoor batting and bowling, the squad has been reduced to seventeen men. No second team will be formed, owing to the fact that there will be no second crease available.

...University baseball squad left the cage finally last Thursday and the work from now on will be on the diamond improvised west of the cage. On account of the raw wind, the battery candidates did not come out last week but will do so today if the weather is favorable.

Ewer, however, is handicapped by being left-handed. Clay is still weak at batting, and both he and Clark are somewhat slow. As in the case of the other candidates for the infield, nothing can safely be predicted of these men until after outdoor work has begun. All three throw well...
