...record made in the South last week we have been led to hope for great things from this year's nine, for it is not often that a Harvard team defeats the two best teams of the South. With such an excellent pitching staff, a veteran outfield, and an infield which gives promise of great brilliancy, the proverbial mid-season slump should be notable by its absence, and the practice games should be fought out with as much sprit and success as the championship series...
...nine innings, and only 28 men faced him during the game. Not a man would have reached first for Virginia if it had not been for a bad decision by the umpire. Hicks did not allow a hit, and only one ball was knocked out of the infield. In the last half of the ninth all three Virginia batters struck...

Simons followed with another sacrifice, placing Dana on third, whence he scored on Marshall's infield...
...hope of keeping last year's infield nearly intact has been upset by the withdrawal of H. McCall '09 from College. McCall returned after the mid-years and practiced for a while with the team. He was offered a good position, however, and did not feel able to decline it, especially as he had completed the required work for his degree.

For first base, Hall and Briggs will be eligible, and F. H. Burr '09 will also be a candidate for this position. In order to fill the vacancy at third base, Lanigan will probably be moved in from the outfield, and together with Twitchell and A. Sweetser from last year...
