The freshmen played by far the best game so far this season, while the work of Exeter was rather below its usual grade, especially in the first half.

...glad to learn that last night the Lacrosse Association summoned up enough energy to hold a meeting in Holden Chapel. The lethargy shown by the association so far this fall might lead one to believe that the lacrosse interests of the college were dead. Harvard lost the championship last year, and from the present outlook bids fair to distinguish itself in the same way next spring.
