The Lacrosse team plays its first game of the season against the Crescent Athletic Club of Brooklyn on Soldiers Field this afternoon at 3 o'clock. Last year Harvard was defeated by the Crescent team by a score of 15 to 0. Of last year's players on the Crescent team, eight will play in today's game. Though the progress of the Harvard team has been hindered by the weather, a fairly good showing may be expected, as seven of last year's team will be in the game.

The referee will be H. McConaghy, a Crescent A. C. man, who has been coaching the Harvard team.
