...batting and fielding on the University diamond. Kernan and Reid started in the battery positions and later gave place to McDonald and Eldridge. J. D. Clark and Kendall played first base, Fincke second, Coolidge shortstop, G. C. Clark third, and Jaynes, Stillman, Ewer, Christenson and Wendell in the outfield. Loughlin, Christenson, Kendall, Wendell, Reid, J. D. Clark and Stillman were given chances at batting and base-running. Kernan and McDonald held the batters down well. The base-running lacked dash, partly on account of the cold, wet day. The infield played fairly well, especially Coolidge and G. C. Clark...
...will open the season Thursday afternoon with the Hopkinson game. The squad has been reduced to twenty-one men, including the battery candidates, and this number will be cut down to sixteen before the Easter recess. The practice during the last week has been anything but encouraging, since the outfield has shown little or no improvement, and the weakness in catchers and first basemen has not been remedied...
Third base is not as strong as short-stop. Ewer, who is also a promising candidate for the outfield, throws, fields, and bats well. He shows good judgement, but is hampered at third by being left handed. Both Clay and G. C. Clark throw and bat well, but are slow. Clay is besides stiff and his head work is poor, while Clark's is very good...
...reduced to twenty-two men. The team is still weak at first base and behind the bat, but the infield is fairly promising. There is excellent pitching material. As there have been only two days of out-door practice, very little can be said of the outfield. Saturday afternoon two nines were picked and a five inning game was played. The following men, not including the batteries, make up the squad: First base--Baldwin, Foster, Lancy; second base--Daly, Jackson, Black; third base -- Forsman, Story; shortstop--G. M. Leonard, Noyes, Van Amringe; outfield -- J. G. Coleman, Comins, Chace, Dever, Winsor...
Loughlin, Jaynes, Wendell, Christenson, Stewart and Wood are the candidates for the outfield. Of these, Loughlin, Wendell and Christenson are doing the best work at the bat. Jaynes is doing well except for his batting which is still weak. Stewart and Wood throw well, and improvement at the bat would make them strong candidates. In addition to these men, Stillman and Kernan, should they not pitch, would make good fielders...
