Ninety scored another victory over Ninety-one yesterday, this time in lacrosse. The game was called soon after 3 o'clock, and lasted an hour with an intermission of five minutes. At first the play was about even, but Ninety soon forced the ball into their opponents' territory, and kept it there most of the time. They only succeeded however in getting three goals, thrown by Henshaw, Rourke and Wells. For Ninety-one Tudor threw a goal in the first halfof the game. Considering that six of Ninety's team are 'varsity men, the freshmen need not feel discouraged over...

...nobody, not even those on duty, should have discovered the fact until late in the morning. There seems to be room here for a charge of neglect of duty against the night-watchmen.

...committee omits to mention that this game was played on Thanksgiving day, so that both the number was exceptionally large and also no students were kept from their college work. If this number is cited, and no other figures are given, with an intention of giving any idea of what usually occurs, even approximately, at other contests out of town, it is wholly misleading. There is usually one decisive ball match, which occurs between Class day and Commencement, at a time when there are no collegiate exercises, which attracts about 50 students from Cambridge, and the university boat race, which...
