Lacrosse

With the first game still a week away and the varsity lacrosse team still unable to get in one full scrimmage session because of wet grounds, it is difficult to assess Coach Tom Dent's current team. Last year the Indians finished first in New England and second in the Ivy League and they may be able to better that record this spring.

The Indians do have a strong defensive unit, with All-Ivy League goalie Randy Malin in the nets and veterans Bill Morton, another All-Ivy choice last year, Jon Herriott, John Patterson and Jon Tuerk on the defensive line.

The midfield unit has a good nucleus with John Baldwin, Dick Pew and Dick Darby returning along with sophomores Dick Chase, John Goyette and Win Robinson helping out, but there's not much depth at this writing.

The all-important attack line could be the key to Dartmouth's chances this spring. Senior Hoyt Goodrich returns to action, after a year's absence, along with veterans Dave Rice and Dick Frisch, but beyond these three are a group o£ untested sophomores from whom will have to come s°me help if the Dartmouth team is going to do much scoring this spring.

Despite lack of practice, Coach Tom Dent is guardedly optimistic that his Big Green stickmen will do well again this spring.

The Thaddeus Seymour Rowing Award, tobe given annually to the oarsman contributing the most to rowing at Dartmouth, is examined by President Dickey; Professor Seymour of the English Department, crew coachuntil last year, for whom the award is named;and John Phillips '58, heavyweight captain.
