...gratifying; not a hit was made off his delivery until the seventh innings and only four during the whole game. He fielded his position for all it was worth, and made several beautiful stops of hard-hit balls. The play of the freshmen members of the nine was noteworthy. Smith played an exceptionally good game on first, but his base-running was hardly up to the mark. Allen played a steady game behind the bat and made a very pretty catch of a foul tip from Richardson's bat. In the seventh inning Coolidge was run into...

Jones will pitch again and will be supported by Hubbard behind the bat. The change pitcher will be Booth, who pitched in the freshman nine year before last and who was thought at that time to be a phenomenon. Souther, '84, will be change catcher. Hopkins' placeat first will be taken by Childs, '83, while Camp goes from short to second, leaving his old place to Griggs, '83, an excellent short-stop and a heavy batter...
