Andover has seldom had a better football team than this year's. Its record was an exceptional one, as the eleven was defeated but twice: once by Harvard and once by Tech. Of the eleven men on the team, seven will enter college next fall. Of these Upton and Hunt will enter Harvard, Coxe, Bliss and Owsley enter Yale, and Mowry and Speer enter Princeton...
...rumors that Stagg would go behind the bat, but they seem to have little foundation. Poole, '91, was catcher and captain of his class nine last year. He is a good back stop, and probably will be selected to fill Dann's position. McClung, '92, half back on the eleven this fall, caught on the Phillips Exeter Academy nine for four years. He is a heavy batter and can play in almost any position. If he does not catch it is probable that he will be given one of the out fields. Unless Stagg can be induced to alter...
...Carter, '87; stroke, Caldwell, '87. There are many strong candidates for the position at bow. Among them, Rhodes, '91, captain of next year's football team, is as promising as any. He pulled No. 3 on his class crew last year, and has played on the 'varsity eleven for two years. He is a plucky oarsmen and could be depended on to do good work as No. 1. If Caldwell cannot be induced to take stroke, the position will probably be assigned to Harrison, '90, or to Rogers, '90 S. Both men have rowed on their class crews, and either...
...captain of the football eleven, in adopting the plan of training the candidates for next year's team, which is described in another column, has made a departure from the methods that have prevailed heretofore, which, it seems to us, must bring forth good results next fall. Harvard opens so late in the autumn that the time for training the eleven is much shorter than it ought to be. Training in the winter and spring, therefore, calculates to develop muscles called into play in foot-ball, and will be of especial value to men who intend...
...gymnasium under the direction of Mr. Lathrop has been formed for the purpose of bringing more directly under the observation of Captain Cumnock all those men, in whatever branch of the university they may be, who seem to be at all fitted for a position on next year's eleven. The men are under the command of ex-Captain Sears, who will also watch the candidates carefully. Everyone who considers himself at all likely to be able to play football, whether he has played before or not, is expected to join this squad. The work will not be too vigorous...
