While the Freshmen are playing Andover this afternoon, the latter's deadliest rival, Exeter, will meet the Harvard Jayvee soccer team at Exeter. The Freshman team has already defeated the New Hampshire boys, 5-1, and the Jayvees hope to duplicate the feat...

Last week, after many cruises and much patient observation, a slim, 22-year-old college boy duplicated Fisherman Grey's feat and came within 93 pounds of the present world's record, with by far the biggest tuna ever landed in U.
