Lacrosse

We are happy to report to his many friends that Coach Tommy Dent has recovered from the major operation, of which we informed you in our last bulletin. He is still not exactly his former robust self, but he is out there on the field, leading his charges through the rugged gyrations of the Indian game. With its entire defense gone from last year by the inexorable route of graduation, Coach Dent has been rather hard put to it to get somebody who could keep the score down. The boys have ordinarily scored freely themselves, but they have often been unable to keep the opposition from doing the same. Hence the team has been losing by scores of ig-12 and winning by scores of 10-7.

The club currently lines up somewhat as follows. In the nets is A 1 Fiertz (brother of captain Bob) who is filling this vital position without previous experience. At defense are three sophomores, Tom Bloomer, Scrib Fauver, and Phil Fenton, who have the difficult collective role of filling the places left by the All-New-England stalwarts of Walt Fisher and company, who graduated. In the midfield are Captain Bob Fiertz, Dick Mason and Joe Caldwell. Fiertz, incidentally, is currently leading the squad in scoring and has amassed a total of more than 60 goals during his career with the varsity. At attack are Tony Quimby, Ed Lyon, and Jack Giegerich, who are counted upon to carry the ball to the enemy.

Dartmouth 10, Syracuse 7. The pupils of Coach Dent beat their old rivals, Syracuse, in a free-scoring game, a feat they had been unable to accomplish even in the palmy days when they (the Indians) were the undisputed champions of New England. In fact, this was the first time Dartmouth has defeated Syracuse in lacrosse in four years. Captain Bob Fiertz got his side off to an early lead, when he scored twice unassisted with the encounter still in its initial stages. For the rest of the first and the whole of the second period, however, the Orange was in control, and the score at the end of the second stanza was 6-3 in their favor. With the old never- say-die spirit, however, the Green kept punching, and Jim Fowler and Joe Caldwell scored in the third period, followed by Dick Mason, who brought the score to 6-6. Captain Bob Fiertz then scored again, and in the fourth and final period the roof really fell in on Syracuse. In this period, Cliff Fitzgerald, Ed Lyon, and Dick Mason all scored for Dartmouth, with the Green winning going away.

Yale 5, Dartmouth In a close battle, marked by sensational goal-tending on both sides, Yale nosed out Dartmouth by the narrow margin of a single point, thereby marking the second year in a row that the Elis have defeated the Green. A 1 Fiertz, in the nets for Dartmouth, held the Blue to its lowest score this year. After posting a 0-3 deficit at the end of the first period, Dartmouth came back strong. Tony Quimby scored first for the Green, followed by two tallies by Jack Giegerich and another by Joe Caldwell. The Dart- mouth boys continued to bombard the Yale goal the rest of the afternoon, but this was all they could push past the tal- ented Blue tender. In the waning seconds of the game, Dartmouth had the tying run on base, as it were, when Jim Fowler broke into the clear with nobody between him and the Yale goal but the ditto goalie. Fowler cut loose but the Yalie stopped it. And that was the ball game.
