HARVARD GAME
IS PROMISING
More Material for Baseball
Than In Any Recent
Year.

O)lliulSll pei NdutS DCtStDtlll NlitlCo
at Harvard this year, as a wealth
of material has been discovered by
the new card system in use. A squad
of 70 men was at work throughout
the fall season which has closed.
The hardest positions to fill next
spring will be first base, third base
and short stop. Captain MacLaugh-
lin will play one of the positions,
probably the one which proves to
have the least available material.
The pitching staff will be very
strong next year. Mckay, the var
sity football tackle, is as good in the
pitchers box as on the gridiron. The
trouble with his college work which
has prevented him playing baseball
in the past, will not be present this
year, as he will have to keep up his
standard of scholarship in order to
take his degree with his class Eel
| ton, also of football fame, is out for
pitcher. Ernst has been showing up
| well in that position. BabsOn, last
years outfielder, is to try pitching
lneXt spring and is one of the many
| possibilities. Bartlett, Hardy, OH
Ter, Bird and Captain mclaughlin
complete the box material so far in
! sight.
| Young, who did most of the catch
| ing last year, is again available, but

Sweetser Reeves, Burrage, Sullivan,
lClifford and particularly Howe, who
did some good work on the second
team last year.
l No veterans are available for third
base, except possibly Mclaughlin.
| Tones, Coon, Flint, Twitcher and De.
sha will contend for that position
Potter will again be seen on second
and is reasonable sure of his posi-
tion since his work last year showed
him to be natural player. Blair
and Booth are the other candidates
for this position.
Carr and OConnell have had more
experience than most of the candi-
dates for short stop Carr was used
in that position great deal last sea-
son. Gibson, Laury and Winston are
other candidates.
A somewhat larger number is out
for first base, and at present it is
very hard to differentiate between
them. Charles Ham, at present
playing football, caught for the sec
ond team last season and has a very
good chance this year.
Wigglesworth, varsity quarter
back has decided to give up hooked
and is a candidate for the outfield
MinOt may come out but there is
isome doubt about it. Kelly, Stiles
and De Windt are the other men for
the three positions. Many of the
present candidates for infeld will
later drop back into the outfield.
Babson was very valuable last year
in left field and will surely be used
there unless he is successful in the
pitchers box.
The big question is in regard to
the new coach. Entirely new meth
DDS of coaching the team are to be
used this year, and with a good coach
there is no reason why Harvard
should not turn out an unusually
good team. The material is very en-
ouraging and the fall has been very
successful. Among the men being
considered for the place are Fred
Tenney, Roy Thomas, Malachi Kit
tredge, assistant coach last year;
Sexton, Otto Deininger and Percy
tTaughton, present head football
coach and captain of his baseball
team in 1899. rs. ...
