be case Of light hitting team. Coach
Lush may have some prescription which
Doyle as a pitcher does not know, which
will make the Yale men hit. But II does
not look that eithsr colleges would do u
great deal of fenee smashing.
The Yale schedule contains thirty-four
dates, with a very short southern trip
Yale has been weaned away from the
southern trip idea Of late because of some
what disastrous effects OH the men. The
schedule is as follows:

Haven; Is, Annapolis, at Annapolis; 49,

The outlook for the crimson team this
year is not cheerful. The candidates
outside of the veterans of last year who
have reported are not of particularly good
quality, and, what is more, the men are
Pieper who never played on the varsity
team as a regular. 1t is not Piepers fault,
however, that there is only the very slight
est kind of pitching material this year.
In spite Of the fact that the infield and
outfield are intact which ordinarily would
! indicate a very successful second year
| team, there Is 80 absolute dearth Of any
thing really like pitching material that the
chances for any kind Of box work that is
near satisfactory are so slight as to be
almost indiscernible, Harvard had only one
pitcher last year, anyhow, Castle, and he
| is no longer available.
| The infield last year, Currier, Leonard,
Harvey, Mccall and Burr, are out and
working. Captain Dexter, Simons and
| Pounds, the outfield men of last year, all
are in college. Brennan, Greene, Bush and
Hartford the pitchers on whom the
crimson, perforce. will depend.
The Harvard schedule as thus far ar
ranged is much shorter than that of the
other colleges. There are only twenty-five
dates on It and the first game is nearly a
month away. The schedule follows:
April 8, University OF Vermont. at Cam
bridge; 10, wesleyan, at Cambridge; lS

The Ithacans have lost seven veteran
players. the worst feature being that two
of these are Umstad and WEIGH, one of the
best college batteries of the last two years
| Further than that, Champaign, Preston and
Braman, outfelders; Hollands, second base
man, and Browne, first base, have been
lost to the university. Umstad's loss is
felt the most severely, because he was a
good hitter and played an outfield position
when not pitching. He was a very valuable
| man.
In spite of the apparently bad outlook
| the Ithacans are not respondent. Deshon
the Nicaraguan, who has been doing lot
of good pitching for two years past. will be
the mainstay in the box. Lovejoy a var
sity substitute last year, and Gale and
Caldwell two sophomores, will help Deshon
out. Hastings will do the catching. In
case It may be decided. however, to send
Hastings to the outheld. either Halsey
! Graves or Pollen will be tried as back
| STOP All these are capable substitutes.
| For first base there are three men. Brad
| ley first baseman last year on one OF the
| intercollegiate teams; Mantel, who cap
| tanned the Ithacan team last summer, and
Watson, who did we'll on the freshman
team last year. are lighting it out
Coach Danny Coogan, the former Uni
versity Of Pennsylvania player and later
Philadelphia National Lacquer, is satisfied
that the Cornell team, although perhaps
not such an aggregation of star men as
that of last season. will be better bal
ancsd.
Cornell has not Princeton in the schedule
and instead has taken on two games with
Harvard. The schedule follows:

The Quakers did not have a particularly
successful season last year, the team beins
somewhat uncertain until after the mid
season, This years nine is working under
the graduate system OF coaching, which is
expected TO bring good results II it is
stuck to long enough. The team VIII have
its same battery from last year. Captain
Judd being behind the bat, and Hay, who
was the most successful pitcher of last
year, being sim In college, Fennell is an
other pitcher who works in the outheld.
Keinath, the basket bali player. wiz be

will also get an infeld job, the rest Of the
