...furnish the Freshmen plenty of competition Captain Harris, who is scheduled to start at shortstop, is also a pitcher: and may take Walkley's place on the mound if the Crimson batters become too threatening. In this case Mack will be shifted in to take Harris position in the infield...
Howard has also come to the fore in the past few days after being kept out of the line-up for over a week on account of illness. He was the individual star of the 1927 infield and an effective hitter of the slugger type. His batting eye has developed slowly this spring, presumably because of his enforced vacation from practice, but his fielding has been of a high order. Coady has seemingly clinched the first base position. He did not play on his Freshman team last year on account of scholastic troubles, but he has already distanced his competitors...

Zarakov, 1927 Freshman captain, has in the last few days passed Slayton in the fight for the third base berth. He will lead off in the batting order...

Slayton '26 as the most likely aspirants for the three open positions. J. C. McGlone '26, Philip Keene 4 E.S., C. D. Coady '27, and W. P. Ellison '27 are other infielders who are expected to provide severe competition for the regular positions...
