The success of our lacrosse representatives last year is having a very good effect in bringing out new members to try for the team. The captain has almost as many candidates as he can conveniently accommodate, with the proper practice, in the cage this winter. Still there will always be room for one more, and, now that the lacrosse interests are on such a good footing, they should receive the attention of every possible candidate. The result next spring will depend almost entirely on the efficiency and steadiness of this winter's work in the gymnasium. In spite of the cramped quarters of the cage there are numerous points of the game which can be properly learned there alone, and these points - throwing and catching especially - are what will give our team their great superiority. The management is very active in promoting improvement in this part of the play, and, with a generous number of candidates, their success seems already insured. Next year, however, they will meet many powerful opponents who will endeavor in every way to wrest our present advantage from us. Let it not be said that, from lack of material or interest, Harvard has suffered this department of her athletics to lose the high position it has already attained.
