...fresh start if they hope to hold the lead, as they have done of late. '85 brought in several very fine players, but beyond these there seems to be no material forthcoming to make up the team in future years, and to add to the discomfort of the supporters of the game, several of the finest players will leave next year. With these facts in view, our prospects are threatening. And yet we dare assert that a far greater cause of dissatisfaction among the lacrosse men is the lack of support shown them.

Returning, leave New Haven at 8 P. M. and 2.45 A. M. Every man who can possibly go should make the most of this opportunity...
