As the game is on Holmes, the new seats and the pleasant weather alone ought to attract a large crowd. The lacrosse has to contend with obstacles which are thrown in the way of no other college organization. It asks for but little support, and gets still less. Last year it won the college championship, and the national championship; but in the excitement of the other victories...
