...main hope of success on the diamond seemed to rest. No one, however, should allow himself to be discouraged by this mishap. It should only serve as an additional stimulus to hard work among the candidates, and ready support and encouragement throughout the college.

The 'varsity has lost valuable men in Campbell, Boyden, Gallivan, Knowlton and Bates. Their places will be difficult to fill. Of last year's nine Henshaw will occupy his old position as catcher, Willard will cover first base, Quackenboss will probably play third, and Howland will resume his place in the outfield. Thus the positions of pitcher, second-base, short-stop, and two places in the out-field...
