...five hundred spectators who were present at the lacrosse game on Holmes yesterday afternoon were treated to a splendid exhibition of playing by the Montreal team. The game abounded in brilliant plays, many of which were made by Harvard men who, despite their want of practice and training, played a steady game in the face of great odds. It should be remembered that the Montreals have been constantly in practice since early last May, while our men have not played together since the middle, of last June, until within a fortnight, and therefore no just comparison can be made between...
...surprising that the college manifests so little interest in the annual meetings of the various athletic clubs. After the splendid record made by the crimson in the contests of last year it would certainly seem that the students might take the trouble to be present at the meetings which have so direct a bearing upon the athletic future of the college.

In this respect our nine's play has been wretched in almost every game which it has played this year, and if it had not been for its splendid fielding and heavy batting we should have lost more than one game simply through this fault. There are doubtless, reasons why every man cannot be a good base runner, but there is no excuse for the poor coaching, which has cost us many a run this season. If there...
