Things are not what they seem, however, the
explanation being that Hillebrand has in MS
four years at college played on about elght
Princeton varsity teams-baseball and football
not few of which have triumphed over Yale,
and it is not surprising that his positively final
appearance should seem to Yale men rnonoto-
nously postponed. Hillebrand is now captain OF
the Princeton nine, and is pitching good pail
He is backed up by set OF nimble, clean IN
feders and the outfield is also strong, though
the men are not too apt with the bat 1t is a
noteworthy fact that while Harvard and yale
recently succumbed to Brown, princeton was
able to defeat the Providence nine handy

At Harvard Captain bill" Reid is putting

captains usually do. Who will be in the box for
Harvard in the big games it is Impossible to
say definitely yet. There are several fairly good
