...Light practice in fielding and batting will continue till the weather permits out-door work. Judging from the showing of the candidates so far there will be no trouble in filling all the vacant positions with the exception of catcher.

There is, however, a minority to whom the foregoing remarks apply. Returning now to Dr. Sargent's lectures, we feel that this series of talks will be exceedingly valuable and should be appreciated and taken advantage of by the students...
