base man he makes the prettiest throw from 3rd to 1st ever seen on a diamond, the ball hardly rising above his breast when thrown.
Housh is a good utility man. He has played every position on the team except catcher, pitcher and first base man. He has fallen off in his batting though and did not have as good a batting record at the end as at the beginning of the season.
Swett is a phenomenal first base man but a weak batter. He can pitch a good game when necessary as the record with the Leavenworth team testifies.
Griggs played left field with scarcely an error. He throws well from the field. He is an irregular batter, sometimes being exceptionally poor and then again extra good. He is a poor base runner.
Stanley has made a good captain. He understands the game and has pitched good ball. He can kick when necessary. He raises his head in pitching and does not always try to fan men. He has a bad temper which bothers him sometimes and which he ought to learn to control. He is only fair as a batter.
Peters has speed as a pitcher. He can fan men but lacks control of the ball.In the Nebraska game he fanned twelve men but hit five and gave six bases on balls. He is a poor batter. When pitching he keeps his head well
but does not ginger up the team like Stanley. Generally speaking the ball team of'97 was the best all around team Kansas University has had for some time though not the best battery as Gear and Kelsey were better as a battery than either Stanley and Curry or Peters and Snyder.
Foot Ball Player Becomes Politician.
W. E. Mattison, who will be remembered by all old students as a foot ball player of repute at Kansas University some years ago, has entered the fruitful field of politics. For the past few years he has been deputy treasurer of Dickinson county. This year he has been nominated on the populist ticket for county treasurer, and if he runs with the same energy that he played foot ball he is sure of election.
