The University lacrosse team will play Columbia at 4 o'clock this afternoon, on the South Field, New York. Yesterday afternoon the squad started from Cambridge, and will return from New York on the midnight train tomorrow night. The team will play the Crescent Athletic Club tomorrow, spending tonight at the club house at Bay Ridge, Brooklyn.

Last year the University team defeated Columbia by a score of 8 to 1, completely outclassing their opponents. This year both Harvard and Columbia have played Hobart, the former winning by a score of 10 to 2, and the latter losing by a score of 4 to 0. By comparative scores the game this afternoon should be an easy victory for the University team.
