...even Mr. Lehmann could have hoped for. That this burst of enthusiasm for rowing was more than temporary has been amply proved by the number of crews which have practiced on the river this year. Men with no prospect of making even class crews and, what is better, the kind of men who were classed as "bleacher athletes," have found their place in our athletic world...
Exeter has failed so far this season to play the kind of winning ball the school's teams are generally capable of. There are eight of last years' team in school, but as yet they have failed to get together as well as they should. Of the games played, Exeter defeated the University of Maine, 8 to 7, Norwich University, 13 to 1, and the Newburyport Athletic Club, 17 to 7. All the defeats have been shut-outs, Bates winning, 4 to 0, Mercersburg, 5 to 0, and Princeton...

While the fielding on the whole was not up to the standard it was not the kind to cause discouragement, and the hitting was excellent. Eight clean hits were secured off Skillen, five of which were bunched in the first and last innings. McCall's work at second was brilliant. He accepted seven chances perfectly, one of which was only effected after a sensational play of Merritt's line drive in the ninth, which he knocked down on the run and recovered in time to get the man at first. At the bat he secured a single...
