...University baseball nine will lose only two players by graduation this spring: Captain Dexter and D. C. Brennan. It will be hard to find an outfielder to fill Dexter's place, and it will be many times more difficult to find a man whose influence on the team will be as excellent as has been Dexter's during the past three years.
