The University lacrosse team will meet the Cambridge-Oxford team on Soldiers Field at 4 o'clock this afternoon in the first international intercollegiate game in the history of lacrosse.

The English squad, composed of twelve players from Cambridge University and four from Oxford University, arrived late last evening, coming direct from New York where they, landed yesterday afternoon. The team will probably have light practice on Soldiers Field this morning; but on account of their late arrival it will be the only work which the men have had since leaving England a week ago today. The men are all in good condition, however, and before leaving for America all of the players had passed through a long and successful season.

The University team is in excellent condition and should play a strong and aggressive game. Since the New York trip the work of the team has steadily improved both in individual playing and in team work. The faults of the stick work of the early part of the season have been largely eradicated and now the men catch and pass with both speed and accuracy.

There is no means of estimating the comparative ability of the two teams, but the game promises to be a close one.
