SECOND NINE TRAVELS TO ANDOVER SEEKING VICTORY

Schoolboys Offer Stiff Opposition in Final Event Before Yale--Layton Likely to Pitch for Crimson

Its seventh win of the season will be the objective of the Second team when it travels to Andover today to meet the schoolboy nine in the final Crimson game of the year before the Yale contest. Exeter humbled Coach Lake's team in the first game of the season, but since then, it has bowled over opponent after opponent and the chances of facing Yale with only the one defeat chalked up against it are promising.

Andover, on the other hand, will probably offer the strongest opposition that the Seconds will have met before the Blue encounter on Saturday. Captain Billhardt's nine has had an unusually successful season. In the early games, several regulars were unable to play, but it has at present the strongest line-up. On Saturday it bunched its hits in the eighth inning to win a 4 to 2 verdict from the Crimson 1928 team, and it will be eager to keep its record against the Crimson unbroken. Layton hurled on Saturday, but he will probably get the call again today.

The dearth of regulars on the University diamond this afternoon will probably deprive the Seconds of several men. Coach Lake last night had not decided what line-up he would use, but Slayton, Knowlton, Dacey and Puffer seem definitely lost for today's game.
