LAST Saturday the Freshman Eleven played a game of foot-ball at Andover, against a team from Phillips Academy. During the first three-quarters Phillips had somewhat the advantage, though the Freshman at one time almost succeeded in getting a goal, the ball striking against the cross-piece and bounding back. In the second three-quarters '81 in their turn pressed their opponents; but nothing was gained, and the game ended in a draw.

Still, the ball seemed to show some partiality to the region of Tufts' goal. Two touch-downs were claimed by Harvard, but not allowed...
