Coach Dent piloted his charges to a second place in the League standings this spring, a record which is remarkable only because it represented a decline from the position of League leadership which the club has occupied for the past several seasons. Coach Dent is a perfectionist, who wants nothing but the best.

Following the end of the regular season, Coach Dent served as head coach of an aggregation of northern collegiate lacrosse players who met a similar group from the South in the annual classic at the University of Maryland. Performing for the North were two of the current crop of Dartmouth players, Captain Walt Fisher and Bob Funkhouser, both seniors. The massive Fisher, a defenseman, has played on three New England championship teams while at Dartmouth, with this year's aggregation, as noted, having to be content with the runner-up position. Bob Funkhouser is a midfielder, who has also reached the end of an outstanding college career.

This contest has become an annual affair and represents a virtual collegiate lacrosse world's series—or rather, strictly speaking, a collegiate all-star game. Teams are picked from the northern and southern sections of the U.S. Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association and then battle it out in their own unique version of the War Between the States. P.S. The Yankees won, 12-8.
