...outfield are several men who cover their positions fairly well, but who have so far done nothing to speak of in hitting. Jaynes, a candidate for first base, does not seem to be quite the equal of Keudall at that position.

S., who debated last year against Harvard. These men are at present on an equal footing and will debate regularly in competition for the final three positions. The system of choosing the debaters is one which has been found best adapted to the circumstances of such a competition.
