...meet these strong rivals, the University sends in a team which seems to have reached its final shape, and which has proven itself the possessor of great latent ability. Three of the last games have been taken in extra innings. The hitting has improved noticeably, and now that the infield has taken a satisfactory arrangement, the fielding should not take long in reaching late-season form. Unless Reed's bad knee improves considerably, and his hitting makes a like change, it seems improbable that he will displace Phillips at short, so that the problem of the nine's make...
...tendency to play erratic ball. As a team of hitters, it has great strength, but the work in the field has been weak. Kelleher and Gill, especially, have shown great proficency with the bat. The outfield is strong, but like the University, Princeton has a problem in the infield...
...announced exclusively in yesterday's CRIMSON, "Smiling Sam" Hall, the New Jersey desperado, will be the prima donna of the occasion.

Nash '16 at first base remains as the only veteran. The 1917 Freshman team has thus far filled two of the gaps, and at present the positions seem settled, for C. S. Reed '17 at shortstop and G. E.

...University scored eight of its runs in the first three innings before the older men could get settled down. A home run, by Gannett following an infield single and a steal by Reed counted two runs in the first, while three consecutive errors followed by three safe hits tallied four more runs in the second. In the third Davis replaced Bidwell, but two more runs were secured before the Pilgrims steadied. In the eighth Whitney laid down a perfect bunt, and brought Fripp home for the final University score...
