The Lacrosse Team was defeated last Saturday by the Crescent Athletic Club team of Brooklyn on the latter's grounds at Bay Ridge, by a score of 4 to 3.
The playing of the Harvard team showed great improvement, the team playing together well and at times passing brilliantly. The scoring was all done in the first half, neither side being able to get the ball through the goal in the 45 minutes of play in the second half. Ring sprained his ankle during the first half and Curtis took his place. The playing of Beecher and Leighton in the attack and Woods in the defence were conspicuous and brought out much applause from the 500 spectators. The goals for Harvard were made by Beecher, Burley and Leighton.
The teams lined-up as follows:
