The freshmen, who will be brought face to face with the Andover and Exeter elevens later in the fall, will read with interest a few facts on the relative merits of those teams as given in the Exonian.

They are said to spend habitually from two to three hours each day at labor with the leather, and, although they fail to meet the average weight of our eleven, they are taking every precaution to excel on those points in which ours display a weakness.
