LACROSSE

After winning the New England championship and subsequently sweeping through a winning junket in Central New York State, Coach Dent's charges came a cropper in the final game of the season against a powerful and talented aggregation from RPI. Before a large and vociferous crowd of local rooters in Memorial Field, the boys in Green went down to defeat by the score of 11-9, after amassing a previous winning streak of nine straight. Lacrosse is a major sport at RPI and the engineers even sent a cheering section of two large bus-loads of rooters to see their heroes defeat the Green. Jim Ruch, Don Scully, Bill Scott, and Bob Merriam, among others, performed nobly for the Dentmen, but were unable to stem the tide permanently. It would have been nice to end the season with a victory over this traditionally strong engineer aggregation and thus extend the string which culminated in the New England title. But we can't, to coin a phrase, have everything. This was the most successful lacrosse team in the history of Dartmouth College, with ten wins against three losses. That should be glory enough.
