There will be a meeting of all interested in baseball at the Varsity Club next Tuesday evening February 13, at 7 o'clock. Anyone who has ever played baseball, whether members of last fall's squad or not, should attend the meeting, as Hugh Duffy, the new coach wants to get in touch with all the baseball men in the University...
Coach Winsor sent team B against the first team for about ten minutes until the B. A. A. seven was ready for a scrimmage and then only allowed 20 minutes of work against the Boston squad. G. A. Peroy '18 started right in with a goal which he made after carrying the puck the entire length of the rink through the B. A. A. line and defence. Tuck, Jones, and Osgood each scored shortly afterwards for the amateur seven, and kept the play in the University's territory. J. I. Wylde '17 and E. M. Martin '18, particularly the latter...

The reason so many small colleges have good baseball teams is because in baseball substitutes are seldom needed...

But the calibre of Coach Winsor's substitutes is such that several of them can go into a game at almost any time with practically no loss of power...
There are only about 30 candidates who report regularly for Freshman winter track, and more should come out to insure its success, and particularly the success of the Worcester meet. The events in which the squad is weakest are the 1,000-yard and 600-yard runs, and the hurdles. The team has a good high jumper in J. Buffington '20 and the members of the relay team, after their defeat of the Yale freshmen last Saturday, seem assured of their places. In all the other events, however, there is need of more candidates...
