Although the fielding of the Freshmen, especially in the outfield, showed improvement in starting and in judging the ball and their headwork and throwing were better, yet in other respects the game was discouraging, as the batting was still weak and the bunting not so good as in practice. The baserunning, also, was poor and team-work was conspicuously lacking. Individually the Andover team was good but the men did not play well together...
...tone and skill in treatment which made it an unusually creditable performance. Equally commendable is "Miss Sarsh Eilen's Answer," though its theme is anything but academic.

Matthews at short-stop played more accurately in the field than in the practice this spring, but showed in his batting an inability...
