...first games two of the most valuable men were disabled. Winslow, upon whom every one relied to fill the pitcher's position, was taken ill and compelled to resign his position to Nichols, who, although a good pitcher, lacks experience in that capacity. Nichols is an excellent catcher, and throws with great precision. Allen, who in the absence of Captain Crocker has filled catcher's position in an almost faultless manner, is an excellent general player, and has had considerable experience as pitcher. Smith, who before entering college had but little experience on the ball field, has covered first base...

Harlan, who takes Schenck's place, has been substitute catcher for two years, and may be depended on to make good the loss of the veteran. Antrim played a few games at second last year in the absence of Rafferty...
...Badger, Platt, Smith and Wilcox. Jones will pitch again and will be supported by Hubbard behind the bat. The change pitcher will be Booth, who pitched in the freshman nine year before last and who was thought at that time to be a phenomenon. Souther, '84, will be change catcher. Hopkins' placeat first will be taken by Childs, '83, while Camp goes from short to second, leaving his old place to Griggs, '83, an excellent short-stop and a heavy batter who would have occupied the position last year if he had been in college. Noye, '85, who played such...
