...plan proposed a few days ago by the executive committee of the Tennis Association, for the reservation of four courts on Jarvis field to be used by the sixteen best players of the college in a league match, deserves to be adopted. While this plan would subtract from general use a rather large proportion of the good courts, the loss would be more than counterbalanced by the advantages gained, and especially the stimulus to better play. It will become an object not only to win future tournaments, but to make a creditable showing in them; and thus many...
...team will probably be as follows: catchers, Brown lee '89, Brokaw '92 and Brown '92; pitchers; King '89 and Ames '90, one of whom will play short-stop when not in the box; first base, Dana '91; second base, Osburne '90; third base, Knickerbocker, '91; left field, Payne '91; centre, Durell, '89; right, McMillan, '91. Five of these men played on the 'varsity last year and the others have had more or less experience on their class nines. The captain is exerting himself to the utmost to put a winning team in the field, but the outlook is not very...
...candidates for the 'Varsity nine were out practicing on Holmes field yesterday afternoon. The grounds were in very poor condition and made ground work almost impossible. Three nets were up, and Captain Willard kept the men busy with batting and fielding. Shroll '89, Downer '89, Grant '92, Viles '92 and Churchhill '92, pitched alternately, and although they pitched straight balls only, the batting was rather weak. The majority of the candidates have already played either on the 'Varsity or on the various class nines. Willard (captain), L. S. Henshaw '89, Linn '90, and Mumford '90, have played on the 'Varsity...
...last season and who can be depended on to do work as good, if not better, this spring. Uptown will in all probability catch him. He was short-stop and change catcher on the nine last year, and is a good all around player. Mowry who was in the field last year will probably cover first base, Anderson second, and Brown, third. Owsley, who captained the Princeton preparatory school team, is trying for short-stop, while there are a number of candidates for the field...
...Exeter, there are about three batteries in training. Flagg, the captain of the team, will probably be catcher. His throwing to bases is rather poor, but he is a good catcher, and has played in the in-field on the Exeter nine for two years. Hoyt and Day are the most promising candidates for pitcher. Hoyt pitched a good game against Andover last year, and Day also proved himself competent to fill the box. Heffelfinger stands a good chance for first base, and Trafford for second. The candidates for the team are playing hand-ball a great deal, but they...
