WE congratulate the Lacrosse Club upon its success last Saturday. The game was witnessed by a large number of spectators, and proved exceedingly interesting. Though the score was but two to one in favor of Harvard, and the game was unfinished, - three goals having been agreed upon as a game, - yet we may be proud of having gained even this advantage over such a celebrated club as the Union. The Lacrosse Club is proving itself worthy to take its place among our athletic organizations. Its members have trained with a fidelity which our older organizations would do well to imitate, and credit is due to Captain Sturgis for his excellent management of the team. We hope that their first success will not lead the men to relax their efforts, as the coming game for the championship of the country will probably be a harder one to win.

JUST at this time, when the Football Team are so soon to play important games, anything that can impair their chances should be carefully guarded against. Thus, it is a matter much to be regretted, that some of the unsuccessful candidates have ceased active training. It is to be hoped that these men, inasmuch as the team is by no means definitely decided upon, will change their minds and begin play again. And even if they see no hope for themselves, it does not seem too much to ask that they should continue, in order to give the team the practice they so much need.
