...picked twelve that will play our lacrosse team this afternoon, has been selected by Capt. Ross of the Somervilles...
...Cambridge this year, owing to the difficulty with which matches are arranged with the local clubs. They have therefore arranged a game for this afternoon to take place on Holmes field. The team which will oppose them is composed of the best local players, among them such veterans as Ross and Davis of the Somervilles. Everyone in college who has seen a lacrosse match does not have to be urged to go to see as good a one as this, while one who has not seen a match can spend his time no better than by going to the game...
...game began with equally good playing on each side, the ball flying successively from one end of the field to the other.

They out ran and outwinded them. But they lacked steadiness in playing against such old players as Ross and Davis. If they can learn to cope with such men as these, they will out-play Princeton. As for the disgrace of being beaten by these local clubs, the college is concerned only about winning the college championship from Princeton, and will not mind a few defeats like Saturday...
