...outfield has been much more unsettled, but the two old players have at last come up to their form and the arrangement of alternating the pitchers in the third position is working satisfactorily. The outfield is now fairly sure in its play, but has a tendency to be slow, especially in handling ground balls...
Barrett Wendell, Jr., '02, of Boston, left fielder, caught for three years on the Noble and Greenough's School team. In his Freshman year he caught on his class nine, and when that disbanded, was taken on the University squad. Last year he played in the outfield.

For the Sophomores, Perry played the best game, catching cleverly, and stopping many wild pitches. The infield did not handle balls quickly enough and threw poorly. The outfield work was marred by a few errors, but several excellent catches of hard flies easily counterbalanced this...
