Lacrosse comes to life in '63 Since the time GCDS introduced lacrosse as a sport, until this spring there has never been a team that had a successful season. In fact, no team had even won a game. There were two main causes for this state: lack of high spirits and poor physical condition. This year, however, the lacrosse squad seems to have started off in a manner more befitting a GCDS team. In spite of having two first stringers absent in their opening game, they were still able to defeat Rye 5 - 2. Last year Rye overcame them ll - 1. After the game the Greenwich team showed their high spirits by dousing their goalie, Jock Willers, with soda pop. The starting lineup for GCDS in the game a- gainst Rye consisted of Holland, Willams, and Adams, our captain for the day, as attackmen, with Scott Muller as a substitute. The ninth grade midfield line comprised of Murphy, Martin, and Hansel rotated with the eighth grade line com- posed of Leech, Frasche, and Green. The de- fense for the Rye game was made up of Funston, Erickson, and Magill, with Hinton and Lawrence subbing. Park and Deutsch, both defensemen, were sick, but our goalie, Jock Willers, made up for this loss by saving the game time and again. George Park, back on his feet, started in the second game, against Choate, and scored our first two goals when we were trailing 3 - 0. His successes set the rest of the team off to some fine playing. At the half we were still trailing 3 - 2, but superior conditioning showed its benefits and in the second half, Sandy Murphy scored to tie it up, followed by Don Green, who scored with an extra man. Baxter Holland, with a fine assist from Dave Leech scored the fifth goal to put GCDS out front to stay. Coaches John Boynton and Gerrit Keator took this game as a good omen for a successful season, and they hoped that they would have what no other lacrosse team has had: an undefeated SCHSO11. Mr. Keator relaxes as Wittbold receives pass.
