...reputation of our University is to be sustained we must have the best material to meet these teams and defeat them. An excellent start has been made, and a number of good men are out daily, practicing and learning to handle the sticks; but many other stalwart, active men should join the squads and try for the team, which is as yet entirely unformed. Our 'varsity and second lacrosse teams should be composed of the best men in college, and Captain Leighton would be very glad to have any one interested join the squads and begin training...

...might be said that a protest against the name would have come in better grace before, rather than after the defeat by Brown. We do not think so. The University at large cares very little about the name of a scrub team so long as it limits itself to playing unimportant teams. But when a few men who call themselves the University team play against the accredited representatives of another college and the impression is given to the public that the contest is between the two colleges, the University has a right to demand that the team which bears...
