Briggs, at shortstop, is new in the position, and at times displays nervousness, but he covers plenty of ground and is fairly accurate. He is one of the best batters of the team. The work of the catchers has been far from satisfactory; they throw poorly to bases, and very frequently misjudge foul flies. Kelly's work, however, during the past week has been encouraging and he will catch today in place of Moss. Hartford should prove effective as he has had valuable experience against the smaller colleges. He is apt to weaken, however, and to lose control...
...held Exeter down to two singles and gave but one base on balls. Although he struck out only five men, he was well supported in the field. Currier caught a good game, holding Castle well, and made two good catches of foul flies. Although Stephenson had no chances on ground balls, he made twelve put-outs without an error. Simons was somewhat erratic at shortstop, and with the exception of Castle was the only man not to get a hit. Harvey fielded cleanly except for a poor throw to third, after Castle had throw wild to McCall. Pounds made...
...improved more rapidly than at any time this season. In batting the men seem to have more confidence than formerly, and in recent games have shown more ability to hit the ball and to place their hits.

The outfielders are slow in starting and consequently do not cover enough ground...
...upon the construction of the new Law School building, which is to stand just to the north-east of Austin Hall. Large test holes have been dug at intervals at either end and along the sides of the intended site, for the purpose of ascertaining the condition of the ground. In depth they vary from 6 to 10 feet, and thus far only a soft clay-like soil has been found, which will enable the excavation to be carried on with great rapidity. Yesterday the tool houses and implements for digging were brought to the site...
...been decided to form a large living room on the ground floor of Conant Hall by throwing together Rooms 1 and 2 on the south entry. This will also serve as a meeting place for the Graduate Club, and will be supplied with the current magazines and daily papers. An exercise room and a fives-court will probably also be fitted up in the basement...
