Lafayette's refusal to play her scheduled game with Harvard at Springfield today is a cause for righteous indignation to the manager of the eleven and to Harvard men generally. The affair is made doubly annoying at this late day when it is a matter of great difficulty or of impossibility to arrange games and when good practice games are especially important. As it was to Harvard's interest to play a match at the Springfield grounds, the Harvard manager had agreed to pay all of Lafayette's expenses. And Lafayette's conduct in backing out at this late day,- her only excuse, that of the team's disbandment, being refuted by the announcement in a New York paper of a game between Lafayette and Stevens today at Hoboken,- is reprehensible to say the least. It is not Lafayette College that Harvard is desirous of playing with, but a foot ball team.
