...unexpected defeat seemed to thoroughly disconcert them and a corresponding depression has followed their former confidence. No better lesson could be taught the freshmen than the one they received at Andover unless they persist in taking it the wrong way. The eleven is supposed to be only in partial trim during these preparatory games, so success or failure are one and the same so long as a steady improvement goes on. But this improvement does not seem to be going on as it should be and although some time still remains before the decisive struggle with Yale, nevertheless the team...

Both men appeared in excellent trim, Page looking especially fine, but both seemed afraid of one another, and very few blows were given in this round. In the first bout of the second round Page received a heavy blow on the eye, after which both men warmed to their work. Lee succeeded in getting in some telling strokes. At one time, having shown a strong desire to "slug" one another, the men were promptly hissed. Page...
