...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...
...ball was faced by Hood and D. Patterson, and immediately forced towards Harvard's goal. It seemed several times as if the Montreals would score a goal, but good playing by Williams and Blake prevented this. Soon Dudley got the ball, made a long run down the field and passed beautifully to Hood who threw a goal for Harvard in 4 1-2 minutes after play had begun. This quite over joyed the Harvard men.

After a few minutes rest, play was resumed, and in one minute Montreal added one more to her score. Shortly after, the ball was faced again.

Monreal secured the next three goals, the last however, only...

The game began about half past four, and the twelves continued their play until long after it was dusk. The grass was slippery and the ball was hard to see in the evening light, so that the game...
...While the match of this afternoon must not be looked upon in the light of an international contest, yet it will prove unusually interesting, and will afford the college a chance to be present at a game of lacrosse "as is lacrosse." Naturally enough the probabilities are that the Montreal men will score a victory, for their summer practice cannot fail to tell against the three months of inaction through which our team has passed. The recent work of the college players has, however, been so effective that they may fairly be expected to exhibit something of the snap...
