LACROSSE

The rewards of a winning lacrosse season are still coming in. One of the most important went to Captain Bill King, undoubtedly the finest two-sport athlete that Dartmouth has produced in recent years. He has been selected for the All-American lacrosse first team as chosen by the Lacrosse Coaches Association. King was an inspirational leader as well as an excellent midfielder. He ranked third in scoring with 23 goals and 13 assists.

Another midfielder who earned special recognition is Mike Herriott of Towson, Md., who was selected as a third-team' Ail-American. Only a junior, Mike led the Indians in scoring with 23 goals and 22 assists. He was a 60-minute player in the final four games of the season alternating between midfield and attack and was a key factor in the Indians' winning record of 7-4 and third place finish in the Ivy League. Ed Comiskey was also a top scorer at attack with 28 goals and 9 assists.

Dartmouth had an outside chance at the title, as reported last month, until stopped by perennial power Princeton 17-4. In one other game played since our last column, New Hampshire was defeated 13-10. If the three games played on the southern tour are not counted, the final record would be 7-2 - the best of any of the spring teams.

The Indians were the co-recipients with Holy Cross of the Marsters Trophy as the "Most Improved Lacrosse Team in New England," and they are still in contention for the Briggs Trophy, emblematic of the New England title. They were tied at the conclusion of the season with the University of Massachusetts and the final results have not been announced.

Herriott has been elected captain of the 1964 lacrosse team. A two-year letter-man, he will be the most Experienced returning letter-winner. Given his first lacrosse stick at the age of eight, he was an All-Maryland lacrosse selection in prep school. He is a mathematics major at the College.
