The appointment of H. W. Jeffers 2G.B. as coach of the University lacrosse team, to take the place of Talbot Hunter, was announced last night by W. J. Bingham '16, director of athletics. Hunter, in the midst of his second season of coaching here, has been forced to resign on account of ill health, and his successor will assume control over the stickmen this week.

Jeffers, a graduate of Princeton, captained the Nassau lacrosse players in 1926, after a brilliant two-year record on the university team. During his last two years in college he was twice picked for the mythical All-American aggregation. He has been playing for two season with the Boston Lacrosse Club, whose team defeated the University by a 5 to 3 score on April 19.
