Lacrosse, in spite of the promises of the papers last year, still seems to meet with as little popularity as ever. But what the lacrosse men complain most bitterly of is the lack of financial support, for so far the expenses of all trips, we believe, have been borne by the few men who are interested in the sport. This year there is still more need than ever of encouragement in one way and another; Princeton has taken a "powerful brace," we are made to understand, and the college at large seems to urge them on, so that they have great hopes of winning the flags. But still a new opponent, namely the Yale team, although it does not seem so formidable, judging by its defeats at the hands of the Princeton men, appears. This is the team which our men have drawn for the match at New York, and it is inexcusable if they do not easily beat them. But much blame must be with the college at large, in either case, and we must say it has no claim to any credit in case of victory. Without further words, let more liberal support be shown the lacrosse team and let every one do his best to give them all the tardy encouragement he can.
