The cricket team will leave this evening on the six o'clock train from the Park Sq. Station, via Fall River for New York. They will play the Staten Island cricket eleven at Staten Island tomorrow and after the game will go over to Philadelphia.
On Friday the University of Pennsylvania game will be played at Manheim. This game is expected to be very close, because Harvard almost beat them last year with a much weaker eleven and the University of Pennsylvania is not as strong as it was then. A reception will be given the men after the game.
On Saturday morning Harvard will play Haverford at the Haverford Cricket Club grounds. This game should also be very interesting, but Haverford pays little attention to any other form of athletics and they almost always bring out strong elevens. On the other hand the Harvard team is the strongest that has represented Harvard for years.
The Haverford men will give a dinner to the Harvard eleven in Philadelphia after the game.
The make-up of the team will probably be as follows: P. H. Clark (capt.). E. H. Pool, E. Du Pont, A. P. Meade, J. B. Kenny, R. C. S. Kaulbach, E. R. Mathews, I. S. Adams, H. H. Richardson, R. Logan, H. A. Davis.
There is a possibility that H. A. Davis may not be able to go, and if so, N. Bent will be taken.
P. H. Clark has played cricket all his life in Philadelphia, and played on the Harvard eleven last year. He may always be counted on for a good score and his bowling is speedy and good.
E. H. Pool played on the school eleven at St. Paul's School and has played on the eleven here ever since he has been in college. He is a steady bowler and bats in good form.
E. Du Pont, Jr., played on the St. Paul's school eleven and is playing a good game. His bowling is fast and his batting good.
A. P. Meade also played at St. Paul's School and is not only an excellent batter, but fields in good style.
J. B. Kenny has played with the Canada Wanderers, is an excellent bowler and bats well.
R. C. S. Kaulbach has played for three
