S. Stimpson, Dwight Barnum, E. D. Cole, Paul Sullivan, Shiras Morris Jr., and J. A. Vogel will compose the Freshman team and will probably play in that order. They have had the advantage of daily practice on the Oakley Country Club course, and Stimpson and Barnum, in particular, have shown remarkable promise so far. Most of the players have had little experience before...
