positions. If necessary, Libby can go in at quarter. The material back
of the line is unusually light, even for a school team. Bemis, however,
is a hard runner, and tackles well, and will no doubt be the regular
full-back. The other candidates are a little slow in their work, and are
much in need of vigorous coaching. They could well spend an hour of
every morning in passing and falling on the ball.

There is good material at Winchester, although only three of last year's
eleven are again in school. The lack of old players, however, is amply
compensated for by the enthusiasm of the new, and I shall expect to see
Winchester well up toward the top of the ladder at the end of the
season. Ordway, the Captain and full-back, has played on the team two
years, and is a good man to give the ball to. He gets around the ends in
good style, and is not afraid of bucking the centre. Thus far the
candidates are playing well together, although they are a little slow at
breaking up interference, and sometimes fail to follow the ball as
closely as they should. In a word, their aggressive play is better than
their defensive work. The latter should receive attention.

Andover's play in the recent game against Boston College was quick and
snappy, and of a kind that may well give Lawrenceville some anxiety.
P. A. rolled up 22 points in two fifteen-minute halves, and came pretty
near scoring four more as time was called. The Boston men were heavier,
but lacked the training which clearly characterized Andover's work.
Douglass was put in at half in place of Goodwin, who is temporarily laid
up, and made the star play of the game. It occurred at the opening of
the second half. Andover kicked off, and Boston returned it. Douglass
caught the ball about in the centre of the field, and ran. He dodged
half the Boston team, and crossed the line for a touch-down. Butterfield
did good work likewise, making several gains through the line. The
Andover men seemed to have no trouble in making holes in the Boston
College line, and after each play the forwards were noticeably quick in
lining up. Andover is going to have a good team.

The Exeter eleven is pretty well knocked out. Half the men who were in
good shape two weeks ago are more or less seriously injured now, and it
is probable that the P.E.A. team this year will be as poor a one as has
represented the school for some time. This condition of affairs is due
not so much to poor material as to bad judgme
