...lacrosse squad has been having hard practice daily in preparation for the game with the Toronto University team today. Finlayson, an experienced Canadian player, now a member of the Boston lacrosse team, has been doing the coaching. The Harvard team is weak in stickwork, and to improvement in this particular, the practice has been especially directed. The greater part of the team have learned all they know of lacrosse since coming to Harvard, while several have played this year for the first time.

The result of thus applying the power all through is that the stroke is longer-the proportion of time that the oars are in the water to the length of time they...
...condition of the men is and has been very good; the light men have held their weight and the heavy men have come down. The crew is in good form for the hard training that is to come and judging from the rapid improvement and the earnest work of the men thus far, there is every reason to suppose that this year's crew will be much superior to those of the last few years...
