Princetonians are banking their hopes of
success upon their efforts. Yale has one
of her pitchers of last year-Trudeau-
and in young Greenway claims to have
a man almost as promising. If this be
true, the Blue will also probably be in
the game from the start, though the
necessity is incumbent upon her eff de-
veloping a strong team both in the fcld
and at the bat, for she loses most of iler
PLAYERS of last year. Brown University
has Pitchers White, Robinson Brady
again in the ranks, but several vacan-
cies in the remainder of the team will be
hard to fill: while Cornell has almost
no one save Pitcher, Cobb and Captain
Afeld. Harvard must depend almost en-
tirely upon new material, as her last
years team was composed largely of
seniors who have since graduated. Penn
sylvania ds in worse strafghts than any
of the larger seven, as far as expert
enced material goes, so her chances of
assuming an important role in the col
lege baseball this year are very slight.
Darte and Wunder win probably work the
points for Pennsy. with Jackson, Huston
and Blakeley on the bases. The outfeld
will probably be composed of Yoight,
Lucas and German, though Grey will
unquestionably play here when not used

Titus has been selected to catch for the
Tigers, and while not being UP to the
Varsity standard gives promise of de-
catcher. Kelly will cover 6rSt Cantain
