FELTON, Among the Players
Lost to Harvard This
Season-Princeton
Lacks Pitchers.

Yale gives promise OF being represented
by another championship baseball team
this year The 1918 pitching STAFF is In
tact. and only three men have been lost
by graduation.
Harvard has good material, but Will
miss FELTON, who bore the brunt Of the
pitching last season. Pennsylvania also
lamenting the loss OF pitching star, as
the team will be without the services Of
Inlay.
Brown has lost heavily and does not
appear TO be formidable Princeton lacks
pitchers Cornell and Columbia look for
ward TO successful seasons. but each
team will have TO develop several men
from the new candidates
Yale's infeld would. without doubt. give
a good account of itself in professional
circles. Riddell. who played so well on
first base, has gone. but there Is num-
Der of promising candidates for the place.
Cornish will hold down second and Cap
tain Blossom will be at short Reilly, at
third is one of the best college infelders
ever developed In the East.
Middlebrook and the hard-hitting Pun
pelly are assured Of two Of the outfield
positions. Gle and Brown should share
the burden of the pitching, with Hunter
doing most of the work behind the bat.
Last seasons schedule was over-long
for the New Haven nine found itself not
In the best of condition when it went
down TO defeat at the hands Of Harvard
after brilliant string OF victories The
srfx
weeks later than the date set last year.
-Four members OF Harvard's 1918 team
are not available. They are FELTON,. the
pitcher; Young, catcher; Tones and Al
sop. of the infeld. Frye and Rex
Hitchcock, who showed flashes of form
last year. will be, in all probability. the
first string pitchers. Some help may be
expected from Coolidge and Whitney. of
the 1916 team. but neither is quite I'D TO
the requirements of championship game.
Irwin and Waterman are the leading
candidates for Young's position behind
the hat.
With Captain Wingate at shortstop.
Ayres at first and Clark at second. there
is the nucleus Of good infield, but third
seems TO be a puzzlng problem.
PENIS infeld of last year is intact with
Peden, Tcomey. Glendennlng and Minds
again available. The outfield will give
Roy Thomas. the coach. a hard problem.
Coleman has resigned his captaincy and
cult college. leaving only one regular for
tie outer garden.
Sayre. Wallace and Valiant will form
the pitching staff. and Captain Schwert
and Rooms will do the catching.
Pitching presents the chief problem for
Princeton. G. II. Copeland and w y.
Wood who did the bulk Of the work last
season, are still available but neither
measures UP 10 the requirements of a
championship nine. Copelands chief
weakness has been a lack of stamina.
He has put on weight since last year.
and Bill Clark, the coach. is hopeful that
he may provo TO have more endurance
this season.
Candidates for the Cornell team were
called out on February %. and the gen.
eral outlook would seem to indicate
stronger team than that Of last season.
Although Edlund and O'Connor. of last
Years team have been graduated there is
good pitching material in view. Achoson
and Johnson. who were substitutes. have
