Referee - Mr. G. P. Furber, '87.

The lacrosse team met its first defeat yesterday afternoon on Jarvis at the hands of the South Bostons. The ball was placed promptly on time. After six minutes play, Blodgett secured the first goal and only goal for Harvard. After this goal the visitors went to work in a very business-like way and in less than four minutes had tied the score, Joyce securing the goal. After the ball was started again it went to the neighborhood of our goals and staid there. A second goal for the South Bostons was thrown by Cooper nine minutes before the close of the first half.

The second half saw our team rather demoralized, the defence failed to cover and the shots made by the attack were weak and tired. Griffing did fine work in the defence field. His rushing elicited frequent applause. Morton made several fine stops. The South Bostons secured a third goal early in the half and the score remained unchanged to the end. The visitors were much more agile and clever with their sticks than our men and backed each other up most effectively.
