Lacrosse seems to be gradually gaining favor, and it is not improbable that it will become firmly established as an acknowledged branch of college athletics...
Arrived at the spot of the tragedy, a short but anxious delay of some seconds took place, after which they were joined by the lady and her friends. Little was said on either side; but Miss Smith, with customary decorum, shed tears. Jones endeavored to preserve composure, but a slight twitching in his mouth and eyebrows proclaimed his inward agitation...
