...Lowell team played a good fielding game, and Gunnasso caught well. Henshaw's throwing to bases was very poor, but most of the poor play can be accounted for by the fact that the grounds were wet, and the ball slippery. The score...
...athletic meeting was a success in every way. Great interest was taken in the outcome, since it was the first time such a contest had taken place between the two schools. Andover won, getting six events out of the nine. Exeter's showing would hardly have been so poor had she not been unfortunate.

Today there will be a chance for both the college and the nine to redeem themselves We expect the nine to play a steady winning game from the start. From the college the team will look for loyal support and enthusiasm. It may seem...
