The Harvard lacrosse team played its first game on Saturday against the Boston lacrosse team and was defeated by a score of 5 to 3.

In the first half, Boston did all the aggressive work, and the play was constantly around the Harvard goal.

In the second half, however, the Harvard team forced the play, succeeding in tying the score at three goals all. Then the Boston team got together, and by a couple of pretty throws shot the ball twice past Klein, and thus won the game.

Finalson and Hall did the best work for Boston, and Leighton and Horne for Harvard.
