Hudner Plays Well in All-Star Game At Troy, Gains Praise From Munro

Rick Hudner, captain of the 1951 lacrosse team, did not score, but according to Coach Bruce Munro he played "very well" during the North's 12 to 11 victory over the South in their annual game at Troy, N.Y., last Saturday. Over 4,000 spectators witnessed the game at Rennesalaer Polytechnic Institute.

The North, coached by Army's Ben Touchstone, trailed until the final quarter despite a strategy which threw the South off during the early stages. Touchstone had his second midfield, which included Hudner, play behind the opposing team's cage instead of out front. Thus Hudner was actually playing an attackman's position. Meanwhile, the long sticks of the Southern defensemen ragged the North's attack, which was out front, instead of covering the midfielders behind the goal. The North also had a decided advantage on the center draw.

"Rick had a fine time," Munro stated, "and I was very proud of him. He's a good representative of the college."
