...center of the aggressive Blue 'forward-line and Captain Potts and Cole forming a stiff defense, the Crimson sextet will be forced to the limit to score. The brilliant individual work of these players, which largely explains Yale's record of six victories and only one defeat, may offset the effective team-work of the Crimson Freshmen. The only opponent that both teams have met this year is Andover. The Yale yearlings downed the schoolboys by a score of 6-0, as compared with the 6-3 victory of the Crimson...
...team which shows flashes of brilliancy at times. The fact that Princeton was able to win by a score of 9 to 0 is offset by their 3 to 1 defeat of the strong Boston University sextet. The Engineers have shown considerable improvement in practice sessions since the Princeton game. Captain Hayden, playing at defense, is the most reliable man on the team.

To offset them the University team has marginal victories over Amherst. Bowdoin, Colgate, and Georgia Tech all of which have stood high on the list in collegiate baseball. To cap the early part of the season and to make up for the poor playing in the Springfield contest, the team staged a spectacular...
