New York, February 2S.-Practlce Tor the college and university baseball squads of the east is well under way and before the month of March has run Its course the first games of the sea son will have been played provided in . element weather does not balk the schedule makers. As result of the in door training to date some idea of the relative strength of the larger insti- tuition hines is available and the coaches are already predicting some close series in the play for intercol- 1egiate honors. Chief attention centers on the Yale prospects at present, owing to the remarkable record achieved by the New Haven team last spring.
 With one or two exceptions the Yale team of 1913, which won 2S games out of 34 played, is intact. The loss of Rid- del at first base leaves a gap in the infield, but with the string of substi- tutes and last years freshman team available this position should be filled without trouble. Another vacant posi- tion is that of Schofield, left fielder. In these two positions Yale is weak est.
 The Harvard team, which had the distinction of winning the only series that Yale lost last season, will take the field this spring with almost as many veterans available as the Blue.
