...continuation of the pleasant weather of the preceding day brought the lacrosse team out on Jarvis Saturday for the second outdoor practice of the season. Though considerable promising material appears, the captain is anxious that lacrosse players should show a more general interest in the practice work. The members of last year's team who are now playing are: Davidson, captain, Griffing, Towle, Drake, Hughes, and Henshaw, '90, and of the substitutes Morton, Wells, Griswold, and Kilvert. The new men are: Thorndike, Naumberg, Reisner, Pulsifer, '90, Hunneman, Grew, Rourke, Huntress, Bancroft, and Newall. It is expected that Harding of last...
...Gallivan, '88; Linn, '90; Mason, '91, and Codman, '90. The ground was not in the best condition, being damp and soggy, but this did not interfere materially with the work of the men. The out-fielders, Linn and Codman, showed up very well. On the whole it looks as though the nine would not find it difficult to get into shape after a very little practice.

If the offenders are upper-classmen, we can only feel sorry that men have to exist whose intellects are feeble enough to find enjoyment...
There was an unusually large number of entries for fencing this year. The first bout was between W. D. Brewer, L. S., and L. M. Greer, '91. This bout was interesting, though Greer showed evident superiority, scoring seven points to his opponent's four. The next bout, between J. M. Morton, '91, and E. S. Rawson, '90, was somewhat livelier, and the contestants were pretty evenly matched. Rawson won the bout by seven points...
...system, however, in spite of its advantages, is subject to constant abuse. Men are very careless about returning books to their proper places, and though complaints on this head are constantly appearing in the columns of the CRIMSON, they seem to have little effect. It takes more trouble to replace a book on its proper shelf than to leave it lying on the table. But it also takes more trouble to look over the ten or twelve tables in the reading room before finding a book, than to get it from the shelf where it belongs. Men forget that what...
