...Stephenson '06, captain and first baseman, will be lost by graduation, but there are good candidates for the position. F. H. Burr '09, who played at first base in many of the early games, although somewhat slow, is a steady fielder and with more experience should develop into a reliable batter. G. F.

The freshmen started a length ahead but were a length behind at the finish. The work was very smooth, although no time was given...
