LACROSSE

The lacrosse team finished the season in a blaze of glory by winning four straight: Williams 12-11, Princeton 9-7, New Hampshire 7-5, and Cornell 9-6. The final record of eight wins and three losses was the best for a Dartmouth lacrosse team since 1950.

The Indians beat Princeton for the first time in lacrosse, and this win, coupled with Yale's upset victory over Harvard, set the stage for the Green to tie for the Ivy League title. In the season's finale at Cornell junior Lee Mercer of Wellesley, Mass., scored three goals to help the Green overcome a two-goal deficit. It was the first time that Dartmouth has finished first in Ivy League lacrosse.

Coach Whitey Burnham's strickmen landed three on the All-Ivy lacrosse team and two of these men went on to take Ail-American honors also. Senior Mike Herriott was the only repeater on the All-Ivy first team and in mid June he was named a first-team Ail-American. He led the Indians in scoring with twenty goals and 26 assists and played both midfield and attack.

Mercer, another All-Ivy selection, received honorable mention on the AilAmerican team. He finished only one point behind Dick Ames of Harvard in the Ivy League scoring race with eleven goals and eleven assists. The third All-Ivy player was goalie Brian Walsh from Winchester, Mass. Walsh was ranked fifth nationally in the number of saves with 190 stops in eleven games.

John Case of Harrisburg, Pa., a defenseman and son of John Case '40, has been named captain of next year's team. A six-foot-one-inch junior, Case is also a defenseman on the varsity hockey team.

Catcher Dick Horton of Reading, Mass.,will captain next year's baseball team.
