Dartmouth Slaps Lacrossemen 11-2, In Home Opener

Freshmen Carve Out Triumph Over Governor Dummer, 9-7

Dartmouth's potent lacrosse team put an 11 to 2 Indian sign on Harvard's hopes for a successful home inaugural on the Business School field Saturday afternoon.

After a hopeful first period getaway which saw goals by Jay Hurley and Charley Gregg, the latter on an assist by John Rogers, keep the score a respectable 3 to 2, the Crimson attack wilted before the determined not tending of Dartmouth's Austin Knight. In the last three periods the Green's well coordinated attack, paced by all-American Bob Merriam, who scored four goals and four assists, moved out for eight additional goals and an insurmountable lead.

Freshmen Win

As their elders were dropping a game on home grounds, the Freshman lacrosse squad garnered its first victory of the young season at South Byfield by taking a 9 to 7 decision from Governor Dummer Academy.

Varsity lineup: Allen, g.; Forsythe, c.pt.; Davis, pt.; Graham, 1d.; Estin, 2d.; Dewey, c.; Abbot, 2a.; Rogers, 1a.; Hurley, o.h.; Bezanson, i.h.
