The varsity lacrosse team won an easy 17 to 6 victory over a much inforior North Carolina team Saturday, while the freshman ten walloped Tabor Academy 12 to 3.
North Carolina presented the season's first opportunity for Coach Bruce Munro to test most of his inexperienced players. Many substitutions gave the appearance of a football game in which the old two platoon system was employed.
Jumping into the load from the first face-off, the Crimson ten gained a 6 to 0 lead in the first period, and scored twice more before the Tarheels first tallied. Realizing the impending rout, Munro then replaced his first two midfields with the third string line of Hank Rate, Buzz Smyth, and Sam Huttenbauer.
Later, Munro sent in a fourth midfield of John Law, Paul Corcoran, and Dick King. Still leading by a safe margin, Munro installed a fifth midfield of Dave Rogers. Win Sharples, and starting goalie Steve Harton, who had earlier been relieved by John Ogdon.
Monk Atello, Phil Waring, and Ed Curtis, the attack part of the Crimson team, accounted for 12 of the 17 goals. Waring led with five, Atollo had four, and Curtis three. Other tallies were registered by midfielders Todd Goodwin, Ron Huobsch, Skip Baldwin, Chuck Edwards, and Sam Huttenbauer.
Freshman Coach Bob Pickett said the Yardling ten had played its best game of the season when it beat Tabor 12 to 3. Tuesday, Pickett's team plays M.I.T. On Wednesday, it will face Lawrence Academy. Both games are at home.
