...spite of the weakness in the box shown on Saturday, it looks as if Yale would have a strong staff of pitchers. Besides Robertson and Garvan, who pitched last year, there are Cook and Sharpe. The latter has developed into a remarkable left-handed pitcher. At present the weakest places on the team are shortstop and second base, left vacant by Camp and Quinby. In J. T. Craffey '04, however, Yale has found a valuable man for the former position. His work last Saturday was fast and reliable, and before the season is far advanced, Yale will probably...
...material is very promising, but from present indications the season will not develop a short stop equal to Orbin or Shape. The work of the past month has shown a weakness in batting and base running. Particular attention is now being given to base running, Pennsylvania's weakest point last year. The pitching staff remains practically the same as last year, with Layton and Leary in good form. Collins and Swaye are working hard to fill Collier's place at second. The only other vacancy, centre field, will probably be filled by White or Breedon. I he team leaves...
...whole squad of long distance men are at present training together and there has been no opportunity to try them in their special distances. Yale is probably weakest in these distance runs. W. D.

Batting, the weakest point, has at last begun to show improvement and several doubles and a three-base hit were secured. The features of the game were the unusual number of successful bunts made and the base-stealing. The fielding at present is as good as can be expected and most of the men are steadily improving. The outdoor work has brought on several cases...
