...were wasted for either they came too late or the men were out trying to steal second. Lanigan opened the sixth with a clean hit to centre and Harvey's out, Logan to Jefferson, put him on second. Currier, however, hit a liner to Cushman from which a double play at second would have resulted but for the latter's poor head-work. Simons repeated his effort of the first inning by sending a fly to Murphy. After this inning Van Vleck retired from the box and went to right field in place of Corey, while Merritt pitched the three...
...prospects of the football team for next fall are decidedly bright from the point of view of available material. Although several of the best men who played against Yale in 1908, Burr, Cutler, Hoar, Kennard, Nourse, Ver Wiebe, White, and Withington, will be lost by graduation, the greater part of the "H" men will be in College next fall. Some good men will be eligible who could not play last season on account of academic standing, as well as strong material from the championship Freshman team. The positions for which new men will have to be found, are centre, quarterback...

The two Princeton games are sufficient illustration of that...
Class Day week and the fact that six members of the team are to play their last home game against Yale should provide sufficient inspiration, but there are other and more substantial reasons for expecting much of the team. The men work well together and they all know baseball, They have been well taught and they have been infused with the right spirit. Coach Piper has trained them in the rudiments and in the fine points of the game with untiring devotion. His sympathetic intimacy with the men under his charge has had much to do with the season...
