Granted, as an '88 man claims, that the freshman eleven at Exeter was weakened by the loss of Hurd and by the injury to Fargo, yet it was strengthened, compared with the team which played at Andover, by the presence of Osgood and Woodman. The eleven was able to keep the ball at the exeter end of the field, as was clearly demonstrated by the goal which they made, and by the number of times which they uselessly punted the ball over their adversaries' goal line, during the greater part of the game.

...Parrott. He, however, has stated that he would not row this year; and those who are acquainted with his work in the past will say, that although he will be very much missed, yet he has earned by his faithful work the right of suiting his own convenience.

All of the remaining six will probably occupy seats in the boat again this...

The Pennsylvania team last Saturday were forced to do without two of their very best players, Mitchell, half-back, and Thompson, smapback, whom the Harvard game had completely used up. Those who watched the game here closely will appreciate the extent of this loss, especially as there was no fit substitute to take Thompson's important position. The team had also lost two entire night's sleep, coming and returning from Cambridge, through their foolish buoyancy of spirit, a fact that of itself would account for the loss of considerable of that snap...
