...Columbia Spectator complains of the "muckerish" treatment the Columbia nine received at the University of Pennsylvania...
...lacrosse twelve are played against local teams of no great reputation or interest to the college at large. Frequently, indeed, games have been played on Jarvis with teams that were positively distasteful to the college. In other words the teams were such as could justly be termed "muckerish."
