...change of Aronson for Rogers in the outfield apparently made little difference in the fielding, as Rogers handled his one fly cleanly. What difference the changes in the batting order may have made are of course problematical. Carr was not in good form at shortstop, and his poor playing may perhaps be attributed to his recent injury. He made a muff of a hard grounder in the opening inning, and in the fifth, with men on second and third, he made a wild throw to the plate which let in two runs. Hicks was ineffective up to the sixth inning...
...Princeton team played an exceptionally fast fielding game and supported the pitcher in creditable style. Ballin was the best at the bat and on the bases, with three runs and two hits, and Reed played conspicuously well at shortstop...
Rogers will have his first chance with the University team and will play in the outfield, probably in right field, Babson shifting over to the place left vacant in centre field by the injury to Aronson. Hicks will do the pitching and Marshall will be at shortstop, as Carr has not yet recovered from the blow in the head which he received at Princeton...
...three-base hit, and two singles. In the ninth, with the score 8 to 6 and only one out, it looked as though the score might be tied; Rogers made a three-base hit and came home on Foster's single; Foster stole second, but Bolton filed to shortstop, and deWindt was thrown out at first, ending the game...
First base will probably be filled by moving MacLaughlin from second. In case the change does not work well, C. Hann '11 or J. P. Kennedy '12 may fit in. At second base or shortstop Potter of the 1912 team is a likely candidate. Haydock and O'Connell, substitutes last year, are additional candidates for second base, and Marshall, Foster and Desha for shortstop. Lanigan is the regular man for third base, and Desha will probably be the substitute if he does not win one of the other places in the infield...
