...more ground at right field than any of the other fielders, and gets his throws off quickly. His batting is weak. Peters is irregular in his playing and is weak at bat. Of the three men trying for pitcher--Castle, Taylor and T. F. Burns--Castle has the best control. His judgment and fielding are also better than either of the other two. Taylor has good speed, but his curves, are not under control. Burns is wild, but shows up well at critical moments. All three are weak at the bat and careless in running bases...
...pitchers, Clarkson showed the best control, and was at all times effective. His batting, however, was weak, since he made but three hits out of fourteen times at bat. Stillman was in the box only six innings during the trip, when he showed fair control. At centrefield, he covered more ground than last year, but his hitting has fallen off considerably. Coburn had fair speed, but showed the poorest control of the three. This weakness together with the poor base-running, practically cost the West Point game. Behind the bat, R. P.

Bowman pitched four innings and showed good judgment and fair control. Wescott, who pitched three innings, had good speed, and was very steady; he allowed only two safe hits; Allen finished the game in the box for Yale. The best individual playing was that of Raymond, the Wesleyan shortstop, who made a double play unassisted and a difficult catch of a high line ball...
