PLANS FOR THE NINE.

This year the candidates for the Freshman nine will be called out about two weeks before any call is issued for the 'Varsity nine. The Freshman squad will be carefully looked over in search of new material, and those who give sufficient promise will be taken to the 'Varsity as soon as the latter begin work, which will be at the end of the mid-years, although the battery candidates will probably begin work before that time.

There will be no professional coach this year other than Mr. Keefe who will coach the battery candidates again. Most of the coaching will come from the graduates, several of whom have already signified their willingness to do all with in their power to help the nine, chief among them being Clarence Smith '96, the old pitcher and first baseman.

The call for Freshman candidates will be issued about the first of February and every man in 1900 who is interested in baseball is expected to come out.
