LACROSSE

Tommy Dent, the amiable Scotsman, after a year of inactivity, took 40 inexperienced candidates and in three weeks turned out a high-scoring, rugged ten, paced at the present time by the Deerfield twins, Charlie Stebbins and Bob Merriam. These two V-12ers have compiled 21 goals between them, but there are eight other good men. Bob Zaumseil, former Middlebury star, is the most experienced man, and in the opinion of Dent, has the makings of an All-American, but other than him, the only other man to see action in college was Walt Troy of Columbia, now holding down the center position. With this small nucleus, Coach Dent, who coached five New England champions at Dartmouth, went to work and fashioned his present squad. Hank Dutcher, greatly improved as a result of these three games, holds down the difficult net position, but has two burly defensemen in Steve Hull and Jack Burroughs, both Dartmouth men, the latter a reserve fullback for Earl Brown last fall. To go along with these men, Coach Dent has John Fuller, Joe Carlin, Jack Jacobsen, Bernny Stead, Gerald Phillips, and Bob Kennard, besides many capable substitutes.

All three games to date have been walkaways for the Indians, who were headed only twice when Williams held a 2-1 lead early in the second period, and when M.I.T. held a 4-3 advantage after 18 minutes of play in the third game. However, both leads were short-lived as the overwhelming score showed. Williams succumbed in the opener, 10-2; Tufts was the second victim, 13-4, and M.I.T. was the last to fall, 13-5. This finishes the home season, but the lacrosse team travels to these three colleges for away games, which means that it will have a somewhat harder task.
