The Yale baseball team OF 1915, which
finished the season with the high per-
centage OF 81, was probably one OF the
best college baseball machines ever put
together. Certainly IL was the best in
the last decade. The Ellis strung up A
record OF seventeen consecutive victories,
and with the exception OF the series with
Harvard did not lose n single set OF
contests with any college team. Single
defeats by Pennsylvania and Williams
marred the record OF the early season.
The Blue was beaten twice by the Gil
ants one afternoon, and in its last games
OF the year was beaten by Harvard. The
Harvard victories, however, do not give
the Crimson the right 20 the champion
ship. despite the fact that IL defeated
Princeton in the series. Yale's wonderful
record throughout the year is so far su-
perior that there Is hardly room for COM
parison.
Brown was beaten in its series with
Yale, but otherwise had an almost per
feet slate. with Victories over Harvard,
giving II a rating OF second. Harvard
ranks third. The Crimson had only a
mediocre preliminary record and showed
