Scott's Note: I checked with a person in charge of Milton College Archive at the Milton Historical Society. She said that from the record she found on Herbert, he entered school with the class of 1907 but did not graduate. He was quite a ball player however as shown by the Milton College Newsletters below summarizing the 1905 season.

The Milton College Review, March 1905:
Scott's note: March is actually crossed out and April is written above it.
Page 147: Wednesday afternoon, April 5, a meeting of the Athletic Association was called by the president. Some very important business was transacted. The manager and captail of the basket ball team gave their reports. H. M. Place, who is acting as chairman of a committe to secure the town uniforms for the base ball team, reported that nearly enough money had been pledged. He was authorized to make the purchase when the required amount should be raised. W. G. Polan was elected captain of the track team, and C. A. Nelson manager. The captain and manager of the track team and Ellice Roycroft constitute the field day committee. The association awarded "M"s to Messrs. H. H. Babcock, R. C. Clarke, L. T. Hull, J. E. Hutchins, D. M. Inglis, B. F. Johanson, H. M. Place, W. G. Polan, and H. H. Robinson.
L. H. North, the base ball manager, has arranged the following schedule:
April 28 Beloit Academy at Milton May 4 Sacred Heart at Watertown May 12 Platteville Normal at Milton May 19 Beloit Academy at Beloit May 26 Whitewater Normal at Milton June 1 Sacred Heart at Milton June 7 Whitewater Normal at Whitewater April 7, captain Inglis stated in regard to the outlook for a team, "Baseball prospects looked bright at the beginning of the spring term. Nearly all of last year's team had returned to school and several new players had signed for positions. But the prospects are now more doubtful. Catcher Robinson, right fielder Clarke, and second baseman Freeborn are yet uncertain of playing, and others are not in condition. Only a few practices have been held, but the players show good judgement and speed. A game with the High School showed that by hard work a strong team might be put in the field.
The Milton College Review, May 1905:
Pages 164-166: Milton College 3, Beloit Academy 2 Milton College commenced the baseball season by winning from Beloit Academy in a close contest April 28. The game was Milton's however, by a larger margin than the score indicates. A confusion at third base arising from a field throw gave Beloit one of her runs in the fourth inning, poor judgement in base running, especially in the sixth inning, deprived Milton of at least one score. The hitting showed the strength of the College team. Milton made eight safe hits, while Beloit only secured three. Although Beloit consided Place a very ordinary pitcher, he struck out eleven of their men; Howard, the Beloit pitcher, struck out four.
Yellmaster Polan was out with a noble band. Both teams are always glad to hear good-natured cheering from the side lines.

Last year Milton won from this college in a fast game of 4-3, and this year a hard game was expected. The College team went into the field with the determination to win and worked hard from the time that the first man was up until the last one was out. Milton received her six scores in five different innings. Sacred Heart scored in the third and fourth. Barnard could only hold Milton to six hits. Clarke pitched the first four innings for Milton. He allowed the opponents only two hits and their three runs. Place pitched the last five innings, giving Watertown one hit and no scores.
This game could hardly be called fast owing to the strong wind and the condition of the grounds; it showed however the relative ability of the two teams. Our boys were well treated at Watertown; the students and faculty taking great pains that their accomodations and entertainment should be the very best. When the team returned to Milton Junction the yellmaster with about fifty rooters received them and escorted them to the President's home. President Daland thought that the victory must have been due "to Providence and the pitcher."

May 12 they met Platteville Normal and won by the decided score of 12-2. Last year the Normal carried off the honors by the score 14-13. The features of the game were Place's pitching and Milton's batting. Platteville made only three safe hits while Milton made thirteen. During the game Place fanned thirteen men. In the first three innings he struck out seven of the men up. In the entire game the Normal had only seven men on bases. They would not have received their two runs in the seventh and eighth innings but for errors on the part of Milton. The errors made by the Normal team were numerous and inexcusable.

Pages 187-189 Milton College 10, Beloit Academy 4 May 19 the College team went to play the return game with Beloit Academy. As the score at Milton was close our team expected a hard contest on the opponent's grounds. But the Academy played a very ragged game and the contest was really decided before the third inning was finished. The batting was hard on both sides but Milton was easily first. Place struck out twelve men and seven of our men were fanned. Milton did not play a brilliant game but the boys showed good form and spirit. Line up and score:

This game was interesting because it was the fifth successive baseball defeat that the Normal has sustained at the hands of the College in the last three years, and the fifth successive victory for Milton this season. It was one of the fastest and best played contests that the base ball enthusiasts of Milton have seen this year. There were only five errors and the game lasted but an hour and five minutes. Porter, in the first inning, made for Whitewater her only score; after that only two Normal men saw second base, and six others reached the initial bag but got no farther. Milton allowed five hits while they took eight from the visitors. In the fourth inning a wild throw from the field allowed Milton one or two more runs than she really earned. Potter played with splendid form on first base, fielding his position well and catching with perfect ease all the low and wide thrown balls from the infield. The outfield took everything that came in their territory without an indication of error. Line up and score:

Two hits by Watertown and an error by Milton allowed Sacred Heart her two scores in the third inning. Barnard in the same inning passed three Milton men and then allowed Place a two-base hit which netted three scores. Johanson followed with a single. Babcock then batted the ball to safe territory letting Place and Johanson in. Potter crossed the plate later. This inning decided the game. Watertown made no other runs while Milton made four more. In the fourth inning, Renke tried a hit over third base. Hurley made a brilliant stop and fielded the ball to Potter in time to retire the runner. Robinson played with his usual good form at the box. In the six games played Place has struck out fifty-six men.
Milton College 1, Northwestern 4 Milton College met defeat at Crescent Park, June 7, when she played the Northwestern University 1 to 4. We have no excuses to offer but on the contrary boast that we received our only defeat at the hands of as good a team as we have ever met, excepting perhaps the University of Wisconsin. It is possible we might have won had Place been able to pitch the entire game or had we played without errors. The University played without an indication of error and took seven hits to our four. Clarke pitched the first five innings allowing the opponents five hits and shutting them out in four innings. Place, who was on the bench on account of an injury received the previous day, occupied the box for the last four innings. He allowed two hits and one run. The College team scored its run in the beginning of the game when captail Inglis made a hit over third base. Robinson followed up the advantage by a clean two base hit which allowed Inglis to score. The visitors bunched three hits in the fifth inning. These with the advantage of an error netted them three runs. In the next inning one man was passed on balls another struck by a pitched ball and a third made a safe hit which allowed them their fourth run.
The Milton College Review, July 1905:
Page 222 Milton College 4, Whitewater Normal 2 Milton College won her last game from Whitewater Normal by the score 4-2. The Normal team lost the game on errors, making twelve to our three. Eight hits were allowed on each side.
Milton has a record this year of which she may be justly proud. Eight games have been played and but one lost. Outside parties have said that this year's team is the strongest that the College has ever produced.
At a recent athletic meeting B. F. Johanson was elected captain for next year and H. C. Stillman manager. The new officers wish to thank their friends for this honor shown them. They would like to have all the old players and many new ones report for practice next season.

Probably Milton Newspaper, undated:
COMMENT by Frank Sinclair Sports Editor Help the Team Manager Black Gold to Come Back The Milton and Milton Junction Wolves ought to settle down now and make a more impressive showing in the Southern Wisconsin circuit with the naming of a new manager. The players are a nice bunch of fellows and Milton has material enough to step out and fight it out for the lead. The unfortunate thing about Milton's team has been that the manager has not been permitted to carry out his plans. The team should give Herb Robinson a chance. When he steps into the role of manager, the authority of the office should be accepted by the players. No manager can always be right. That's to be taken for granted, but he should be given a chance to work out his ideas and cooperation should be given him.
