The lacrosse team which has just won such signal victories over the best omateur teams in the United States, has, shameful to say, been hardly supported at all by the college. It is needless to say that the team's expenses have been heavy, and it is also unnecessary to say that they ought to be assumed by the college. Now the team has been able to play but three games in Cambridge this year, owing to the difficulty with which matches are arranged with the local clubs. They have therefore arranged a game for this afternoon to take place on Holmes field. The team which will oppose them is composed of the best local players, among them such veterans as Ross and Davis of the Somervilles. Everyone in college who has seen a lacrosse match does not have to be urged to go to see as good a one as this, while one who has not seen a match can spend his time no better than by going to the game to-day. It ought not to be necessary to urge the college to support a team which wins such honor for it, but every man ought to feel it a duty to go out to-day, and pay as his subscription the small admission fee demanded of him.
