...exact lineup of the University nine is uncertain. It is expected that G. E. Donaghy '29 will cover shortstop and that W. P. Elison '27 will roam right field, since this combination offers the strongest hitting attack. In late games especially against southpaws. Donaghy has gone to right and R. C. Sullivan '27 has played short, and a last minute shift by Coach F. G. Mitchell may send this combination into the field
