The Freshman baseball squad has been reduced to 22 men who will remain in Cambridge to practice during the holidays. Two nines will be formed, and games will probably be played daily. The work is not far enough advanced as yet to give any individual criticism of the men, but as a whole the squad is working hard and shows good spirit. The greatest weakness is in batting; in the field the men are beginning to develop team work with fair success, though their throwing is still unsteady. There are no very promising candidates for the battery positions. The strongest point of the squad is in base-sliding and running. With conscientious work, the play should show marked improvement by the end of the holidays.

Following are the candidates for the various positions: Pitcher--Cook, E. Smith, Tuckerman, Bradley, Timmins; catcher--Elkins, Mason, Wheelock; 1 base--Robeson; 2 base--Kernan; 3 base--Sanger, Carey, Bolton; short stop--Gaeenough, Mitchell, Miller; outfield--Randall, Colby, Souther, Maguire, Fox, Adams.
