...practice of the University lacrosse squad Saturday showed great improvement. The men have made considerable progress in mastering the fine details of the game, and especially in their catching, passing and teams work, they are far in advance of teams at the corresponding period in former years. The defense men have improved in their checking and picking up the ball, while the passing, shooting and running of the attack is now fairly strong.

The comedy was then modified and under the title of an "Alderman no Conjurer" the play was first given in its present form at Dorset Gardens...

As yet the development of the various crews has been very slow and on this account it is impossible to estimate their ability. The Freshmen, in particular, have made very little progress, owing to the fact that they have not yet become accustomed to the water...
