...prospects for a good baseball team next year, while not as bright as this year, are exceedingly good. The team will lose five men by graduation. These men are Clark at second. Wingate at shortstop, Milholland in the outfield, Osborn catcher and Hitchcock in the box. The greatest gaps to be filled will be those left at shortstop by Captain Wingate and at second base by Clark...

In addition to Waterman, Harte, the first string catcher of this year's Freshman team will be available.

After the first inning when three of them struck out and subsequently scored, because Stiles, who took up the catcher's responsibilities at the last minute, was unable to hold Hall's wily shoots, they adopted the system of swinging at the first three balls pitched and hastening for the initial bag at top speed. Here Osborne lived up to expectations by performing yeoman service. He also distinguished himself with the club, although outdone by Stiles who slammed a trio of screeching triples over the heads of the outer gardeners...
