The men were both on the lacrosse team which held the intercollegiate championship during 1884-85 and '86. Under such circumstances the prospects for a good team seem bright.

...gone about it in the right way; either they have overdone it or they have not taken their exercise systematically. For the great majority of men the best work is regular light exercise on the pulley weights or with the wooden dumb-bells. But to some these methods seem slow and tedious.

...CRIMSON is occasionally in receipt of complaints concerning matters of greater or less moment to the University, the subjects of which could either be remedied or satisfactorily explained upon a single appeal to the person or persons who are or seem to be responsible for the grievances claimed. Whenever it seems necessary to make a remonstrance against some crying abuse or an appeal to public opinion on any subject, the columns of a daily paper are perhaps the natural medium.
