In yesterday's issue we published a short account of the doings of the cricket eleven. Cricket is a sport which should be encouraged here; and the various cricketers of Harvard have striven earnestly to obtain a firm footing for the game. The team has been very successful in its matches with teams from the neighboring towns, but those interested naturally want a wider field. Therefore they have arranged a game with a team from the University of Pennsylvania, probably the first amateur cricket eleven in the country. This game is to take place on Holmes Field, a fact which ought to add further interest to the match. There are many men in college who have played cricket in preparatory schools or elsewhere, and we urge such men to come forward and try for positions on the team. The game with the University of Pennsylvania will give a boon to the sport, and we hope that the college will do its share towards helping the team to achieve as many victories this year as it did last spring.
