EXETER, N. H., November 12, 1897.- Exeter defeated Andover 18-14 yesterday afternoon in one of the best and cleverest contests ever seen between preparatory schools. Five minutes' more play would undoubtedly have enabled Andover to score again, and by kicking a goal to win the game. As it was, Exeter took a brace just in time and managed to hold their opponents. Any other game but football would have been postponed, for the field was literally a mass of mud.
Exeter scored twice in the first half and Andover twice in the second. In the second half, Schrieber's fatal fumble on the kick-off enabled Exeter to get the ball near the line and score by a determined effort. During the greater part of the first half Exeter forced the play, but seemingly became discouraged at being forced to a safety and weakened greatly in the second half.
The teams lined up as follows:
Exeter-Gardiner, l. e.; Hogan, Robertson, l. t.; Zimmerman, l. g.; Greene, c.; Higley, r. g.; Jones, r. t.; Shaw, r. e.; Baldwin, q. b.; Miller, l. h. b.; Syphax, r. h. b.; Lynde, f. b.
Andover-Schricber, l. e.; Davis, l. t.; O'Connor, l. g.; Newton, c.; Holt, r. g.; Grinnell, r. t.; Abbott, r. e.; Roby, l. h. b.; Baylies, r. h. b.; Eliot, f. b.
