LACROSSE

Tommy Dent recently remarked that he has a grand bunch of burly boys down there with the stick who could, if given a year or so, develop into a championship lacrosse aggregation. There is no question about the brawn, for he has a number of football players who are improving the passing moment by learning the fascinating art of refined assault and battery which masquerades under the name of lacrosse. Tommy reports that he has to admonish some of his overenthusiastic charges from time to time that the webbed stick is a tool and not, as some of them apparently think, a weapon.

The lineup for the opening game with R. P. I. included several names known to close followers of last fall's football team. Little, Hicks, and Huntsman were all line- men on Earl Brown's aggregation, and their football experience should stand them in very good stead in the present hurly-burly. Terry van Ingen, the hockey goalie, is a candidate for the same position on the lacrosse team; he played, indeed, the same position on the soccer team last fall and seems to specialize in guarding goals of various shapes and forms.

Bob Roberts, first attack, scored two of Dartmouth's three goals against R. P. 1., and Hen Gutman, in home, netted the other. The team as a whole showed its lack o£ experience in college competition but should be a far different club when R. P. I. comes to Hanover on June 2.

SPRING DAYS ARE A MAGNET to the outdoors for the Navy V-12 boxers, too. Here, on Memorial Field, Ed Korb of the College's physical education department shows some of the fine points of fisticuffs.
