...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...
...students will this afternoon be given the opportunity of witnessing what bids fair to be a brilliant game of lacrosse. The visiting team is made up of old and experienced players whose skill and endurance have won the championship of Canada.

Eighty-nine enters Harvard with just twice as many men as are enrolled in the freshman class at Yale. Her athletic record should be proportionally more brilliant than that of her rival class at New Haven. Let the upperclassmen, then, with all due sobriety and moderation, drink success to the class from which the college expects so much...
