Lacrosse News.

About thirty five men have taken part in the lacrosse practice of the past two weeks. Already a marked improvement has taken place in the handling of the sticks and in the more rudimentary form of defense play. The coaching of the squad is now under the supervision of F. B. Taylor 3L., who will act as head coach for the coming year. Other coaches will be H. McCongahy of the Crescent Athletic Association, C. M. Guggenheimer of last year's team, and J. W. Sever'01.

More importance than ever before wil be attached this year to the Freshman team. It is hoped that a team may be developed which will be able to defeat the Freshman team of Columbia. In addition to this game contests will be arranged with Dummer Academy and other available teams. As usual the class games will be held in the spring. This year, however, an endeavor will be made to play off these games at an earlier date than heretofore in order that there may be time to pick a University team before the April recess.
