...present the prospects for a winning University baseball team are none too bright. The squad is an unusually small one, but is working hard. So far the work has consisted in fielding, catching men between bases, and practicing short dashes. Batting practice will begin this morning at 10, when Keeler of the Brooklyn National League team will be on hand to coach...
...several former university players. The head coach has not yet been appointed. A special effort will be made to improve the team work this year. From present indications, pitchers are scarce and unless new material reports, most of the work will have to be done by Garvan. As none of the candidates for catcher is quite satisfactory, Winslow or Waddell may be tried in that position, and other changes will doubtless be made...

Yale was the favorite at the start, but Harvard gradually advanced while Yale stood still; and as a result the Crimson eleven beat Pennsylvania for the first time since 1893, and Yale for the first time since '91. The coaching had been more systematic. The plan of having sub-head coaches was perfected and more strictly adhered to. The plays were cut down to a minimum and for the first time in the history of Harvard football a special defence was worked...
