The Cricket Eleven.

Cricket has never promised to be a more popular and successful sport than it does this spring. The members of the eleven of last year who are still in college are doing all in their power to train new men for the team. Ellis, Markoe and R. D. Brown have each taken an hour in which to direct the practice of the new men and to give them instruction in batting and bowling. Men who are interested in cricket and are willing to work will be welcomed as candidates for the eleven. There are enough good cricket players in college to make up a winning team, but some of them have never played at all with the eleven and others have taken part only in a few matches. It is hoped that all who have interest in the welfare of cricket at Harvard will try for positions on the eleven. A series of matches have been arranged with New England clubs for Saturday and Wednesday afternoons after April 28. The most important game of the season is the one to be played with the season is the one to be played with the University of Pennsylvania on Holmes Field in the early part of June. The University of Pennsylvania has the finest eleven in the country and in meeting it our eleven stands only a slight chance of victory; but, whether we win or lose, that game will call the attention of the whole college to cricket and will give it a new interest as an intercollegiate sport.
