...McCarthy '22 ran lead-off for the University on the long-distance team, against F. W. Hilles of Yale. Hilles had the pole and made the first corner, but McCarthy was right on his heels, and showed that he had come back from last year's slump, by holding this position behind the Yale flier until the end of the six laps, when he was only a yard behind.

The fielding throughout the season has been remarkably clean; especially was this noticeable in the game with Rhode Island State, when, despite the muddy field and the steady rain, the M. A. C. players made only one error. On the pitching staff Brigham and Collins are both reliable. The former is the more brilliant, but will probably not start today, on account of a split hand received while knocking down a hard liner...
