The Lacrosse team, we understand, intend playing about Nov. 1st, in the New York tournament for the Oelrichs challenge cup, now held by Harvard. This cup is open to annual competition by any American club, and our team certainly deserves great credit for the successful issue of last year's tournament. Unfortunately, only about six of last year's twelve will probably be able to play this year, as several of the best men have left college with '83. But this very fact, when known, should incite those who have the capacity of becoming good players to turn out and try for the team. Several new men must soon be taken on the team, and it will be a pity if the captain is to have no field for selection.

In this connection we are authorized to state that a gentleman connected for some time past with the Lacrosse interests of Harvard, proposes to offer cups both for long distance and accurate throwing of the Lacrosse ball. The rate throwing of the lacrosse ball. The cups offered will resemble those given by the H. A. A. at its winter meetings, and the competition is to take place in about two weeks. The precise terms of the proposed contest will be stated shortly.
