...last week. The Princeton Club has the reputation of being one of the strongest clubs in the association and will undoubtedly play a strong game, forcing our men to do their utmost to win. Our team have also greatly improved since their last game, and an exciting and interesting contest will probably be the result. As a large number of men will go down to Yale, every one who possibly can should aid the lacrosse team today by his presence at this game, which will be the first played on the home grounds this year.

Although our meetings are rather crowded with the large number of necessary events, still it seems possible that the time could be profitably spared to give opportunity for a contest in one if not all of these additional events. The trial at foot-ball kicking could take place at the fall meeting, and it seems as though base-ball throwing would make an interesting event in the coming spring meeting. We have athletes sufficiently proficient in each of these branches...
