LACROSSE M91 5, II oi MJl 5 Lacrosse, in ils eijihleenlh season at M.I.T.. (Irov more players and more inlcrcsl than e T before in ils history, «illia liiriioiil l ' i»r the varsity of I hirlv- (i e men. and a liirnoiit for the Fresh- man J.V. sc|ua l (»f nearly fifty men. To faeililale the sehedulinj: of more freshman games, it was necessary to cut llie varsity schedule to eifiht games, thus enabling an increase from the two freshman gaines of last year t i five games this year. The season was one of building for the varsity because a number of excellent men graduated last year. The prospects for the coming year, however, as the large freshman turnout would intlicate, are excellent. M.I.T. started well, early in the season, but a damaging factor to the success of the team was that loss of two of our best players, Dennis Allegretti and Tom Tsotsi, through injuries. Allegretti. a first-string defense man, suffered a serious kidney injury at the K.P.I, game in May, which made it impossible for him to participate in any more con- tests for the rest of the season. The team was dealt another serious blow a few days later, when Captain Thomas Tsotsi sufferetl an injury during practice, which incapacitated him for the remainder of the season. Tsotsi also played a defense position. The result of these two losses was that the defense positions were seriously weakeneil. with inevpcri- ence l substitutes having to do the major share of the defense chores for a good part of the season, (ieorge Heynolds. the sole remaining (irst-slring d« ' f«-ns«- man. assumed the position of captain after Tsotsi ' s injury, and was invaluable for his steadying influence on the ine perieii ' ed substit ules.

GOLF Rorschach, H., Morrison, Corrie, Neshitt Sgl. Lada (coach). Fuller, Chisholm Although golf at Technology is a sport in which only a small group of men participate, it is a source of great enjoyment to those who are able to play. The Tech varsity is furnished with the use of the facilities at the Woodlawn Country Club in Auburndale. However, in the future, early spring practice will be held in the Rockwell Cage. This year ' s golf team has had a very successful season. Boston University and Tufts were first to succumb to the prowess of the Tech putters. Next in line was a powerful Bowdoin squad, who likewise were vanquished. Against Boston College, M.I.T. suffered its first ilefeal of the season.
