...perfect weather conditions. The batting was fairly good, but this was in part due to the fact that Jackson and Castle, the usual substitute pitchers, were not used. The fielding, particularly that of the infield, was loose and unsteady. Stephenson was again tried at second base, but was still somewhat uncertain, his chief fault being slowness in starting...
University practice yesterday consisted of the usual batting and fielding work, both of which were somewhat of an improvement over anything the squad has done thus far.

It will be seen that as the competition for the Hale chair begins this year, no team because it retains its former name and organization can have any advantage over a new team this...
