...candidates for shortstop. Devens is a fair fielder but is slow and has poor judgement. An awkwardness in fielding combined with a slight weakness in throwing offset Wheelock's excellent judgement and stick-work. Coolidge is the most promising candidate and is one of the best fielders on the team. His throwing and batting, though good, are not quite up to his fielding; but he has a thorough knowledge of the game...
...better fielding work than any of the others, though his throwing is rather weak. In batting he fails to pick the ball cleanly off the bat. Jaynes lacks experience and is weak in flies that come over his head, but he is improving in batting. Christenson's work, though fair, needs activity and life. Stewart is another one of the men who are constantly improving as they gain more experience. His work on the bases is very promising and his weakness in fielding is partly made up for by his good throwing...
...football game yesterday afternoon was won by Sargent's team by the score of 12-2. The game showed very fair kicking, and the line work, which was expected to be good, was very satisfactory. Both teams handled themselves much better than is usual in spring practice at this time. Sargent's team won by the gains which were made through their opponents' left tackle. Lee, Sherlock, Sargent and Gierasch did the best playing. Gierasch made the first touchdown, and the second was made by Motley after blocking Sawin's kick. The line-up was as follows...
...crease available. It is hardly possible now to judge accurately of the men's abilities, with a view to picking a team, as there has been no fielding practice as yet. The men retained are: G. H. Wilder '00, G. H. Bradley 2M., R. C. Brown 1G., J. H. Fair-weather 2L., J. T. Murray 1G., J. A. Lester 3G., H. H. Lowry '00, H. G. Gray 3L., O. Paul 1B., T. Stokes '03, F. Fisher '03, E. J. Samson '01, W. N. Taylor '03, V. C. Mather '03, M. MacNeil '03, E. B. Hilliard '00, R. Flint...
...shortstop, the competition is exceedingly close. The candidates are George, Coolidge, Wheelock and Devens. George who appears to be thoroughly seasoned, is batting fairly well. Coolidge fields splendidly and throws well. Should he continue to improve in batting, the competition for the position will be much closer. Wheelock, although a new man, has improved rapidly both in batting and fielding, and gives promise of further improvement. Devens throws well, but is not so quick as either George or Coolidge. His batting is only fair...
