...Freshman baseball team will play the Phillips Andover team at Andover this afternoon. This is expected to be one of the hardest games of the season, and will be the first opportunity to test the real strength of the team. The fielding has improved steadily during the past week, but the throwing is unsatisfactory. The batting is still weak, the men having tendency to hit the ball too high.

The battery candidates are promising, though for the most part comparatively inexperienced. Professional coaching has been directed almost exclusively to base running and batting and the Wesleyan game showed a marked improvement along these lines...
