LACROSSE SQUAD WORKS FOR SPRING TRIP SUCCESS

Regardless of driving rain and a wet and slippery field, Coach Harry Herbert yesterday put his lacrosse squad through a more than usually strenuous two-hour session at Soldiers Field beginning a drive for the team's first severe test of the season, the game on Saturday with a picked aggregation of alumni stars.

Continuous and unbroken hard work will mark the daily practice from now on, as mark the daily practice from now on, as the squad concludes the most ambitious and strenuous program that University lacrosse teams have undergone for many years, and enters upon a difficult schedule.

Following the Alumni game Saturday, the team, 15 strong, will leave for Syracuse, New York, to practise several days with the team of Syracuse University, from which Coach Herbert graduated. Syracuse has held the intercollegiate championship for two successive years.

The present goal of the squad's efforts, however, is the game on Thursday of vacation week with Hobart College at Geneva. "The team that beats Hobart wins the championship," Coach Herbert has repeatedly declared, and he is now endeavoring to weld together his inexperienced and not too promising material into a team that can give Hobart a hard battle. A game on Saturday with Cornell at Ithaca will conclude the vacation trip. If the Crimson succeeds in showing power and drive against these three opponents, whose teams are made up from stars and players of many years experience in lacrosse, Coach Herbert feels that he will be well on the road to restoring Harvard lacrosse to the standards of former years.

All students in the Harvard Graduate Schools and transfer students ineligible for the varsity squad, who have had jacrosse experience and would like to compete for the club team, are invited to communicate with the secretary of the club, Percy Catton '15, Second National Bank of Boston, or with Captain W. E. Nightingale '15 at Northeastern University, Boston. Either of these men can be see at Soldiers Field on Wednesday and Saturday of this week.
