...freshman nine plays Andover. All the Ninety men who can possibly do so should accompany the team and give it support. Andover has a strong nine, and will make a good fight for victory. The majority of the freshman class have lost all faith in the nine, since its defeat by Yale. The nine has worked hard, and until the next game with Yale deserves the hearty support and encouragement of the class.

I could not remain the second day, but had sufficient experience...

At the end of the five minutes '88 had taken in thirty-nine inches of rope. The freshmen made a good fight but "struck a snag," as was predicted some two weeks since. The teams were as follows: '88 - Anchor, Balch; 3, Baldwin; 2, Crocker; 1, Pease. '90 - Anchor, Sturgis; 3, Hutchinson; 2, Lathrop; 1, Jones...
