In reviewing the season three weak-nesses reveal themselves to which may belaid our defeats. In the first place the teamhas been lamentably and painfully weak atthe bat, as a glance at the above averages willshow. No player, with the exception ofPackard, who stands head and shouldersabove all the rest, has a batting average toboast of. Of course we have run up againstsome pretty good pitchers in the champion-ship games.

Secondly, the base running and stealinghas been of a very ragged character, thefellows seemed to stick to their bases as ifthey were glued to them, and a little moreenergy would have saved many a fellowsneck at first on a close decision. Lastly, as all who have seen the gameswill grant, we have had some very hard luckin the way of unfortunate errors, which have THE COLORADO COLLEGIAN. 11 let in two or three runs, and those two orthree runs have lost the gam
