There appeared in our last issue an article calling attention to the prospects of the lacrosse team for the ensuing season. While the general attention of the college has been directed hitherto more towards other branches of athletics. The lacrosse team has still given very evident signs of life and has shown itself in everyway worthy at a higher recognition by the students. While we possess material and facilities for the successful support of a lacrosse team of the first merit, the opportunities offered the team for practice with the various local clubs about Cambridge, might be used to the most practical advantage. Much of the apathy in athletic team work which is complained of among the students is to be traced directly to the restricted number of popular sports and to the consequent high proficiency necessary to an admission into the teams. While it may not be practicable for Harvard to follow the example of Oxford and Cambridge and send her undergraduates to a man for a spin on the river, a great amount of the energy hitherto wasted in inaction, might be directed with great success into other channels than those three into which are turned at present all the strength of body and skill in team work which are found in the college. Lacross if properly fostered, ought in time to take a position equal to those sports, might by its manly attributes help to do away with the much heard of and greatly bewailed brutality in college sports.
