...game saw another shift in the University line-up. Reed has been displaced by M. B. Phillips '15, and the change seems for the better. In each of the last few games Reed has shown up rather poorly, for his weakness at the bat has been followed by weakness in fielding. Phillips failed to hit safely, but his fielding was perfect...
...weeks on account of illness. K. P. Culbert '17, former Sophomore crew man, is now at 4 where H. S. Middendorf '16 originally was. He has in turn taken W. S. Ely's position at six. J. Talcott '16 has moved from two to three, an important shift since it involves his pulling a starboard instead of a port oar. F. W. Busk '16 has been moved from bow to number two. F. H. L. Whitmarsh '16, who has been on the Junior crew, now occupies the bow position. The final order is as follows...
...shortstop and G. E. Abbot '17 at second have both been performing creditably, being fast fielders and fair hitters, but at third there still remains a serious problem. F. G. Fripp '16 has been playing that position, but his hitting has been on the whole mediocre, and some shift seems likely. The outfield should present a trio of hardhitters, and two of the places seem permanently fixed, with H. R. Hardwick '15 at his old position in left field and R. T. Gannett '15 in right. At centre, J. P. Coolidge '16 and C. E. Brickley '15 have been fighting...
...Pennypacker '16, H. Minot '17, and A. O. Phinney '17, all of whom have shown up well this winter. W. J. Bingham '16 may run in the half-mile event, in which he will be supported by W. W. Kent '16 and J. W. Feeney '17. Another probable shift will be placing Captain Capper in the mile. Last year he had an excellent record in the half-mile event, but his services may be needed more in the longer distance. R. S. Cook '17 and R. H. Davison '17 are the other milers. The two-mile event will have...
...trouble lies in the fact that most students do not know how to study. As Freshmen they are plunged into seas of work, without receiving any careful instruction on methods of doing it. They flounder for a time, until they evolve inefficient, make-shift ways for themselves. Some, not so fortunate, do not learn the rough-and-ready lessons of experience soon enough, and their college careers find early ends...
