tion to start off their season on saturday against the strong team of the new york la crosse club in fact there is a possibility that the game will not be played because of the condi tion of the field which suffered under the heavy snow of a few days ago this also made it im possible for the team to have scrimmage and to date they have not teen able to work to gether the upper field has been shared with the baseball squad which has allowed only a limited space for the regulars however there has been a large squad reporting and they have shown a great amount of inter est in the sport with which coach o'neill is connected the unfavorable spring weather is also unfortunate as the team should get in a little more prac tice before they meet the rut gers stickmen from new bruns wick a game which

tion to start off their season on saturday against the strong team of the new york la crosse club in fact there is a possibility that the game will not be played because of the condi tion of the field which suffered under the heavy snow of a few days ago this also made it im possible for the team to have scrimmage and to date they have not teen able to work to gether the upper field has been shared with the baseball squad which has allowed only a limited space for the regulars however there has been a large squad reporting and they have shown a great amount of inter est in the sport with which
