Now that the freshman lacrosse team have challenged the Yale men to play them a game and have received an affirmative answer, we would remind them that the college are desirous that they should present as strong a front as possible when they go to New Haven. The Yale men will be playing on their own grounds with which they are familiar, and they will be encouraged by the presence of a considerable number of sympathizers, both of which circumstances will tend to steady their play. For Harvard, '87, the only way to overcome this disadvantage is to work as faithfully as possible from now until the time selected for the game. Considerable work has already been done, and the number of men who have been practising during the last two months have laid the foundations for a good team if the material thus furnished can only be worked up into a homogeneous mass, playing well together as a unit, not liable to become "rattled" if by any mischance the score may at any time be adverse. With such work as is necessary, we cannot but hope for a creditable showing in this the first Yale-Harvard freshman lacrosse match.
