EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON: Perhaps the enclosed clipping from the editorial page of the New York Daily Tribune of May 31 may be of interest to your readers:

"Slugging is the disgrace of lacrosse playing, and if there are many more such exhibitions of it as that given yesterday by the New York Club in its game with Harvard, the sport must cease to be regarded with favor. Hale, the inside home, from Cambridge, who most effectively checked the play of the New York men, was brutally struck over the head by an opponent and was carried bleeding from the field. It is an unfortunate coincidence that up to that time the New York Club was getting the worst of it. Hale, being nearly killed, the home players won. It is high time that this kind of a thing was stopped, either by the umpires or the police. A beautiful sport is being ruined by it."
