Disappointing Losses

Princeton's mastery over the Dartmouth men's lacrosse team cost the Green a second-place finish in the Ivy League race behind unbeaten Cornell. The teams entered the final league game with identical 3-2 records. Dartmouth tied the contest at 7-7 with only 31 seconds remaining, but the Tigers reeled off two more goals to give them a 17-year string of victories over Dartmouth. "It was a demoralizing loss," said coach Dud Hendrick. "We had some real disappointing losses during the year."

The Green was involved in three onegoal games and two two-goal games. Highlights of the season were a 12-11 upset of 15th-ranked Brown on a sudden-death goal and a 12-6 defeat of Harvard. With one game remaining freshman Jenkins Marshall was the leading scorer with 19 goals and 21 assists. Junior Jim Goldman was the leading goal-scorer with 22. Junior Rob Olsson was named Ivy League player of the week following the Yale game in which he had four goals and one assist and got 85 per cent of the face-offs.
