Almost sure to win over a mediocre Exeter team, the Freshman matmen, used by newly elected Captain Pete Illman, hope to avenge their 15-9 defeat by Andover last Wednesday. Best lights of the contest at Exeter will be between Lewis and Captain Lacy of Exeter in the 175-pound division, and Illman and Stewart in the 155. The Schoolboys, smothered by Milton recently, won a major victory over Governor Dummer over a week...
Lamar is taking a capable team South with him to face this difficult assignment; probably it is not in the class of last year's, for Pete Ward, Al Valois, Bill Smith and Larry Crampton are gone. All of these men reached the finals in the Intercollegiate last Spring; the last two battled their way to the championship.

Fighting for the first time this year in his proper class, at 155 pounds, aggressive Pete Olney faces the star of the Virginia team, Maynard Harlow.

Perhaps Pete Olney is having a practice fight with Dwight Eills; the two men swing freely into each other, going round and round the ring, giving and taking. As collegiate boxing frowns on the practice of pounding a man to pieces from close quarters, the men do not follow up and close in as much as the professionals, but the action is fast, the blows hard. Lamar, looking on with several members of the team, serves as time-keeper and referee, and coaches at the same time...
