The Lacrosse game was played on Jarvis immediately after the base-ball men vacated the field. The play was limited to two half-hours, with ten minutes intermission between each half. The game was not marked by particularly brilliant work on either side. Harvard played with unexpected weakness at first, Ross of the Somervilles being allowed to capture three easy goals, before the Harvard defense seemed able to meet his system of attack play. For the Somervilles, Ross and Davis did by far the best playing. Most of the other men seemed inferior to their Harvard opponents. The game was won by the Somervilles by three goals thrown in short order by Ross during the first half, and by 1 goal in the second made by the same player. Harvard's 2 goals were mane in the 2d, Twombly, and the second by Hood. Once during the game, the ball struck the Somerville goal post, but unluckily bounded back outside the goal. Some excuse for the demoralization of the Harvard defense during the first half of the game may be found in the fact that Drake, goal-tender was ill,-so ill that he had to be changed-and that Peabody was suffering from a lame knee. There was a lack of system, however, in the defense play, and to this, in part at least, the defeat was due.

The Harvard team was composed of the following men: Peabody, '87; Williams, '85, (captain); Gardner, '87, centre, Hood, '86; attack field, Henning, S. S., Nichols, L. S., Blodgett, '87, Noyes, '85, Twomply, L. S., Woods, '85; Goodale, '85.
