Dartmouth Routs Lacrosse Squad

By John R. Adler

Playing as if they and not their name-sakes had invented lacrosse, the Dartmouth Indians overwhelmed the varsity, 13 to 1, Saturday on the Business School field. The freshmen team proved that their strong showing against Exeter two weeks ago was no fluke by defeating the Dartmouth freshmen, 15 to 8.

The Crimson seemed to have forgotten every offensive play it had been taught during the season. The attackmen, when they managed to get their sticks on the ball, ran in as far as they could, then shot.

Dartmouth is not as strong as Princeton, and probably not as strong as Cornell, but it outclassed the Crimson with topnotch speed and size. Its passing was sharp and its plays precise. At one point during the third quarter, the same play caught the varsity napping on three straight occasions.

The largest crowd to see a lacrosse match this year was subjected to an unfortunate exhibition by the Crimson goalies. Dick MacKinnon frankly admitted afterwards to having an "off-day," and Chris Stone, his replacement for five minutes during the third period, fared no better.

The lone varsity score came at 14:15 of the third period, after Dartmouth had tallied eleven times. Jerry Cotter shot from thirty-five feet and Nick Lamont intercepted the thrust in front of the cage.
