Dartmouth Wins, 16-9, Over Lacrosse Team

Dartmouth trounced both the freshman and varsity lacrosse teams Saturday afternoon on the strength of powerful second-half rallies. The varsity lost, 16-9, while the Yardlings bowed, 11-4.

Throughout the first half of the varsity contest a flip of the coin would have been as good as anybody's guess as to the game's outcome, for at the half the Green was leading 6-5. Near the end of the third quarter, however, John Ogden, star Crimson goalie, was struck by a loose Dartmouth lacrosse stick and had to leave the game.

Coach Munro substituted Tom Cooney in his place, but Cooney hurt his knee a short while later. Munro's lack of depth in the goal then told the story. He moved Lindsay Fischer from the midfield into the nets, but Fischer was inexperienced and Dartmouth drove the ball past him time and again.
