About twenty-five candidates for the university nine attended the meeting in Captain Willard's room last evening. Of last year's nine only four are now in college. They are Willard, first base; Henshaw, catcher; Howland, right field, and Quackenboss, third base. It is doubtful whether Quackenboss will play this year. The other candidates and the positions for which they are trying are as follows: Pitcher, Luce, '91, McLeod, '90, and Hawley, '89; catcher, Hale, L. S. S., Bell, '92; second base, Mumford, '90, Evans, sp., McCoy, '90, Wood, sp., Talbot, '89, Babbitt, '91; third base, Barney, '90; shortstop...
...likely that Irwin of the Philadelphia team will be engaged to coach the nine. Among the candidates are Ames, King, Durell, and Dana of last year's nine. Of these Ames will probably play second base, King, (captain), pitch, Durell take right field and Dana first base. For catcher Brokaw and Brownlee are the leading candidates. Browmee caught in the season of '86, and Brokaw was catcher on last year's Lawrenceville nine. For positions in the in-field Mowry, Watts and Hanson are promising candidates, and for the out-field Sproull, Knickerbocker, and MacMillan...
...baseball everything augurs well. Stearns, last year's pitcher, has been elected captain, and will pitch again this year. Upton, change catcher and short-stop last year, will probably catch; White, last year's second base, will play first; Anderson, a new man, second base; Owsley, captain of the Lawrenceville School nine last year, will very likely play third. Leland, a new man, will play in the outfield with Dickerman and Dalzell. The team plays a good fielding game, but are not very heavy batters...
...candidates for positions on the nine other than those of pitcher and catcher have not yet begun training. Consequently the cage has not that animated appearance which it will take on a month hence when the men begin sliding to bases, practicing handball, batting, etc. The majority of the men will take up this work about the first of February. The candidates for pitcher and catcher, the names of whom appeared in a recent issue of the CRIMSON, are doing good work and making marked progress under the skilful instruction of Mr. Clarkson. Those with whom Clarkson is thrown...
...loss of the pennant by Yale next spring was by no means improbable. Captain Noyes will have plenty of material from which to select men to fill the vacant positions. At present, Poole, '91, and McClung, '92, are the most promising men for the position of catcher. There have been some rumors that Stagg would go behind the bat, but they seem to have little foundation. Poole, '91, was catcher and captain of his class nine last year. He is a good back stop, and probably will be selected to fill Dann's position. McClung, '92, half back...
