Comparing the nines individually, the University has a slight advantage. On fielding the two teams are about on a par, but at the bat the University is a decided superior. Easton, in right field, is probably as good a man as Gannett in the field, but his hitting has been noticeably inferior. Yale will doubtless miss Kranes in that position. Captain Middle Brooke, in centre, is one of Yale's best batsmen, surest fielders, and fastest base-winners, but with the exception of the lost department it is doubtful whether he excells Frye. He certainly is not as strong...
...benefit of greater experience. Behind the plate will be found two catchers of marked ability. Both Hunter and Harte are men who have made creditable records; Hunter has the better throwing arm while Harte has the better reputation at the bat.

...this number, Princeton shows the greatest net annual revenue, $1,412.50 for the year; whereas Williams has a deficit of some $2,000 and Michigan a slight surplus of $200. The low surplus at Michigan is due to the fact that most of the profits were expended on a new stadium which is under course of construction;--the first unit of this stadium will seat 13,000 and the ultimate capacity will be between...
...McLaughlin, the Pilgrim's pitching captain was hit freely during his stay in the box. He was relieved by Davis, who was more successful and allowed but two hits in three innings. Whitney and Garritt pitched well for the University. Brickley was out of the game because of a slight indisposition, but will be back again for the game with Princeton on Friday...
...work. But that is a debatable question for future boards to decide. In general I think that the innovations are to be approved; and the Red Book Board is to be congratulated for a good piece of work. With the exception of one or two minor inaccuracies, and the slight to Dame Musica noted, the 1918 Red Book may serve as a model for later classes...
