...diligence in practice and faithfulness in training count for anything, we may certainly hope to greet our team as victors, after the game on Saturday.

Moreover, as matters now stand, for this year at least lacrosse practice is necessary. But we also think that the class ball games are necessary as well as popular. They are a regular part of our athletics, and are necessary as giving valuable practice to the Freshman nine. If the freshman team does...
