Lacrosse Team Defeats Brown; Six Score in 11-7 Crimson Win

The varsity lacrosse team cruised to an 11-7 victory over Brows yesterday, with the Harvards making six goals before the first Bruin score, late in the second period.

Lou Williams tallied three times for the Crimson; Woody Spruance three times; and Grady Watts, captain, scored twice. Joe Praki, Pete Sieglaff, and Al Straus made the other goals, Straus, a defenseman, scored after bringing the ball up the field and exchanging a quick pass with Spruance, who was credited with an assist.

Several players felt the game was unnecessarily rough. Coach Munro's comment: "We had a couple of green officials, who didn't call all the fouls."

The game may well have marked the last appearance of a new offensive pattern innovated last Saturday against Cornell. The pattern, which rings the goal with players instead of funnelling most of the offense through a crease attackman in front of the goal, requires too many passes, Crimson coach J. Bruce Munro said last night. Using two or three passes per goal, Munro said leaves too much margin for error and doesn't "utilize our best players."

But the varsity's next opponent, Penn, employs a defense with which the new attack could not possibly cope, and so the real question is whether Munro will use the pattern next Wednesday, April 25, against Holy Cross.
