The University lacrosse team left yesterday afternoon for New York to play Columbia in the last game of the season this afternoon. The team took the Fall River boat last night and arrived in New York this morning. The following men were taken: C.R. Stevenson '02, E.B. Alvord '02, A.E. Goddard '02, R.B. Michell '02, E.B. Chaffee '02, R. Wynne 4M., L.J. Kendall '05, D.P. Penhallow '03, R.E. Binger '03, R.C. Kibbey '04, H.H. Bennett '04, J.P. Hoguet '04 and R.A. Wood '03.

The work of the team since the game with Pennsylvania has shown improvement. The attack is more aggressive than it has been at any other time of the season, and the defense positions, which have hitherto been somewhat weak, have been strengthened by the improvement of Kendall at goal and Stevenson at first defense. Wynne at coverpoint should be effective against the fast attack of the Columbia team. With Alvord and Penhallow playing the principal attack positions, Harvard should be able to score in the first part of the game.

If the team wins the game this afternoon, Harvard will take second place in the league standing. In case Columbia wins, three teams will be tied for second place. None of these ties, however, will be played off. The game will be called at 2 o'clock on the Columbia oval.

The line up will be as follows: HARVARD.    COLUMBIA. Kendall,  goal,  Kebler Chaffee,  point,  Benedict Wynne,  cover point,  Duden Stevenson,  first defense,  Rogers Kibbey,  second defense,  Benjamin Hoguet,  third defense,  Gutsell Bennett,  center,  Ashley Penhallow,  first attack,  Sherron Alvord,  second attack,  Lyford Binger,  third attack,  Coggeshall Michell,  outside home,  Adams Goddard,  inside home,  Hayes
