The game between the Andover eleven and our freshman team, to be played this afternoon, will be really the first opportunity for judging the strength or weakness of Eighty-Eight's representatives, In the Andover men our team will find worthy rivals, for the eleven from that academy has not been beaten by a Harvard freshman team since the fall of 1881, Last year, and the year before, our teams returned with doleful tales of defeat, attributing their ill success to one cause or another, and making vigorous complaints about playing in a "brick-yard," the somewhat harsh tile they gave to the Andover foot ball field. From this it will be seen that Eighty-Eight has no easy task before her, and that, while only the sharpest of work can win a victory for the class, yet that victory will be one to remember with pride, if it be attained. A word now to the freshmen. No surer way to help your team to success can be found than the support afforded by the presence of a large number of your class. It is an easy and comparatively inexpensive undertaking to run up to Andover for the afternoon, and the game ought not to be lost through lack of support.
