31 l , ix LACROSSE ...,...g.. and ....s,.,,.,.. NAVY, always a power in the lacrosse world, was tied with Maryland University for the National Intercollegiate Lacrosse championship in 1943, after running roughshod over Army and six other opponents, and losing only to Princeton. Under big, Irish, affable, and able coach Dinty Moore, who is president of a girl's school on the side, another championship Navy lacrosse team was in the making. Returning from 1943 were lettermen Al Giorgis, captain, I-lilly Hume, Larry Williams, Mal Brown, Bill Graham, Bill Bonwit and Charley Guy. Coach Angie Lamond was again making All-American defense men out of football linemen-a two year job in two months-and Fred Koch, Bill Campbell, Vince Anania, jack Wilhelm, Bill McLaugl1lin, Andy Horgan, Charlie Grove, Paul Purkrabeck, Adrian Back, Jack - M anager Larry Simmelinlc and Captain Al Giorgis if ,, Hilly Hume reaches for a high one Lt.

form and tilnilng WITH the defense of the eastern intercollegiate title, won by last year's stellar squad, as their major objective, Navy's golfers took to the fairways at- the first hint of Spring. Led by Captain Dave Paul, and ably instructed by Coach Bob Williams, the squad turned in a season worthy of its eminent predecessors. Credit is also due to Oflicer Representative Commander C. E. McCombs, who elhciently smoothed out all administrative difficul- ties. Collegiate competition was a little scarce this year, but teams from surrounding country clubs filled out the schedule and provided an excellent brand of golf to test the abilities of such Navy aces as Bill Lewis, Angus Douglass, and johnny Johnson. With the completion this year of the new eighteen hole course and the resultant increased interest evidenced by the regiment, golfis future at the Naval Academy seems assured.

Charlie Grqy and Bill Graham f' 4 X.. ,.. Bonny Bonwii Gilchrist and Dave Barksdale were due for service in 344. Maryland is the home of lacrosse in this country, but Navy is the heart of it. Though such schools as johns Hopkins and Maryland have surpassed Navy in stick handling, Academy teams have consistently beaten them because of their speed, power and plain old fight. The ham and eggers began pounding up and down the turf of Farragut Held in early March, and were to be seen there every afternoon until May 27, when they traveled up the Hudson to meet Army. Broken bones and bruises, were not as plentiful as the spectator seeing a lacrosse game for the first time would imagine, but none of Dinty's men could deny he squeezed every ounce of energy from them in those daily practices. hlllg- H in . . .-.,'.,,,..
