Tesreau's 1932 Edition

But let's go back to the first of the month and try to size up this 1952 edition of the baseball team. Let's see just who graduated and what candidates are out for those vacant places. Graduation took two outfielders, three infielders and the catcher, which is quite a group to lose from any baseball team, but at the same time all of us were fairly optimistic regarding the season because of the presence of a good pitching staff.

Way Thompson and Arthur Boisseau were known quantities on the mound. Then, in addition to these two veterans, Bob Miller and Red Aiken came up from the freshman team with good records. Such a pitching staff should go a long way, and already work is cut out for them, for the Yale game, scheduled for April 9, was rained out. This means in all probability a double header at over on May 7, the day following another League game with Pennsylvania.

The infield presented the hardest problem, and it is still an open question. The squad boiled down to two infield combinations by the middle of the Month, and there is little to choose between numbers One and Two. Number One, composed of Hank Barber, Loppy Rich, Buster Snow and Tom Maskilieson, went to Princeton where Barber distinguished himself by getting four hits in that losing cause.
