four defence men, Goodale, Rueter, Williams and Bradford, proved too much for their opponents, and kept the ball well away from our goal. As a result nothing more was scored, and the game ended with the result of 3 to 0 in favor of the American team. Throughout the match the defence of the other side was clearly an over-match for our weakened offence, who seemed unable to keep the ball at their end of the field for any length of time.

Nevertheless, the senior crew did remarkably well. Their stroke is a very trying one, as it brings...

The reputation for skill and science which the American team enjoys and the brilliant individual play which may be expected will undoubtedly result in an interesting game, and one in which those who are comparatively ignorant of lacrosse will be able to appreciate...
