THE TYALF FRESHMAN BLUE BooK 25 Baseball L. S. MLDDLEBROOK. Cafvfailz UIII-Z'Cl'.9lf3' BaseI1czll'Tcfa111 fIQIg-jj Wiinter baseball practice in the cage will start about February 25. At this time there will be a call for battery candidates. The work for the men will consist in arm, back, and leg exercises, with light battery practice. The first general call for other than battery candidates will come about the First of March. The men will be put through a number of gymnastic exercises and out-door running. The work in the cage will consist in fielding, base-running, and general hitting with particular emphasis on the two latter. The squad will be cut before the tenth of March, and only those men retained who have demonstrated that they are possibilities for the University team. Only twoilield teams will be retained after this cut. It has not yet been definitely decided when the Freshman can- didates will be called out for winter work in the cage. The work for the Freshmen will be along the same line as that of the University team. During the season of l9l5 there will be particular attention paid to the class teams. lt is the wish of Captain Middlebrook and of Coach Quinby to make the class teams more than ever the step- ping stones to the University team. Although they will probably not be given winter practice, except the Freshmen, there will be a call for candidates for the class teams as soon as the weather per- mits. A more extensive schedule than that of last year will be arranged and the games will start immediately after the Faster vacation. It is the earnest desire of the coach and the captain that all who have played baseball will come out for one of the class teams, as in this way promising material which might not be able to remain on the University squad, will be given a chance to develop,

' THE XTALE FRlESI-IMAN BLUE Book 27' Track W. M. SHEDDEN, 'l5. ' Captain Uvzfirfeafsity Track Team, To develop an efhcient machine this year each man musty attend' to his separate part. There must be co-operation throughout, Last year we defeated Princeton and Harvard only by team' work. A big Freshman squad is essential, for the men who have had a. year under Johnny Mack are the best material for the 'Varsity. There is no longer any truth in the statement that all our track: men are made before they come to New Haven. The great majority of our first place winners on the 'Varsity team are men who have- plugged at track consistently for three or four years. It is very necessary that all men possible report for tall work. It is now that you can develop your form. You are just so much in, the rear of the rest of your team if you wait until spring. ' We will do a lot of work this year in the cage, where the dis-- tance men can get in a good deal of beneficial training. Come out, even 'if you think you have no ability at all in track. The coaches are ready to give you every aid possible. .Andwwheni you do come out--stick! - GIANNINI AND NICYQALLS U CREW COACHES
