LACROSSE

(1) Dartmouth 11, Harvard 5. Lacrosse went into the big time this spring, with an encounter being staged for the first time on the sacred turf of Memorial Field over Green Key weekend. The event was a brilliant success, with the Green emerging victorious over Harvard by the score of 11-5. The game served as the unveiling for the two sensational Indian stars, Rudy Lorraine and Bill Cook, who learned their lacrosse on the Mohawk reservation in upstate New York. These two colorful performers cavort at Ist Attack and In Home, respectively, and in the Harvard game managed to score six points between them. The Dartmouth defense is apparently just a mite porous for a really unbeatable club and the team will presumably rely for the rest of the season on their ability to score more tallies than the opposition. At this stage of the game and with the two Indian stars uttering their war cries, this looks highly probable.

(2) Tufts 17, Dartmouth 7. The next week this prediction partially worked out, the only difficulty being that, although we scored enough points to win any ordinary game, we neglected to prohibit Tufts from doing better. With seven markers in the opening stanza, the alert Tufts aggregation poured it on the inexperienced Green defense, who in this encounter were clearly outclassed. The Green rallied in the second and third periods to score five points, with another two for good measure in the final quarter, but this was not enough to overtake the high-flying Jumbos.

(3) Syracuse 7, Dartmouth 6. A large and enthusiastic home crowd watched Dartmouth get off to a comfortable lead of 3-0 at half time, only to see a revitalized Orange aggregation come storming back in the second half to snow the local boys under. Dartmouth finally lost by one point, despite the heroic efforts of Rudy Lorraine, who scored three goals in the second half, two of them unassisted. The work of this sturdy stickman was a constant pleasure to watch, as he spun his way through a nest of orange jerseys to flip the pellet deftly into the opposing net. The rest of the local operatives were not up to his skill with the stick and bungled numerous promising scoring opportunities by their uncertain handling. All in all, however, it was a rousing performance and a hard one for Coach Dent and his stalwarts to lose.

(4) Tufts 13, Dartmouth p. Forming one half of a simultaneous two-ring circuswith the baseball team on the diamond and the lacrosse team on the football fieldthe Green stickmen dropped a free-scoring contest to Tufts for their third straight defeat. Dartmouth started out with a terrific display of scoring power, flipping three goals into the net in the first 47 seconds of the game. After that herculean effort, the boys in Green subsided and Tufts took over, with the latter leading 7-4 at the half. The star of the game was Roy Sigler of Tufts, who accounted for eight of his team's 13 tallies. Even the talented Indians of Dartmouth were unable to match this individual brilliance and Coach Dent's boys accordingly dropped their third contest in a week.
