...mild weather yesterday brought the candidates for the lacrosse team out of doors, where they took advantage of the opportunity for stick practice...
...prospects of the 'varsity and freshman teams are good. Seven men of last year's 'varsity team will probably be on next year's team, but the other seven vacant positions-five regular, two substitutes-will have to be filled by men who have never before handled a lacrosse stick. The members of last year's team who have been out this fall are Griffing (captain), Kilvert, Griswold, Rourke, Wells and Thorndike.

The men come out every afternoon, and after practising with the stick usually play a game with the 'varsity team. In consequence of this steady work, they are improving rapidly, not only in handling their sticks, but in team play-Harvard's strong point in lacrosse...
