'55 Lacrosse Will Face Tough MIT Ten Away Today

Though still tired in mind and body, the freshman lacrosse team has recovered sufficiently from Jubilee Weekend to face a strong M.I.T. team today. The Yardling ten will take a short bus jaunt to play the Engineers at 3 p.m.

Coach Bob Pickett remarked that little or no information was available about M.I.T., but "the way we're playing, any team would be tough." The absence of team coordination and experience that has plagued Pickett all year was painfully apparent during the first half of Saturday's game when a lighter, but more experienced Tabor Academy squad held the Yardlings to a tie. After a half-time tongue-lashing, the squad showed what it could do when pressed.

The main fault was poor team work; this was almost erased in the second half showing Saturday. Outstanding attack-man Tom Whedon, who scored three goals and gained three assists against Tabor, will start the game along with Jim Dorsey and John Taylor. Bill Cormack, Tom Crump, and Rip Muse will probably get the defense nod. Dick Simmons will play in the nets but Pickett said that Simmons would probably share goalie duties with Steve Denhartog, starting net tender in the first two games of this season. The midfields will probably remain the same with Tim Anderson, Pete Palchas, and Ed Brown.

Lawrence Academy plays host to the ten tomorrow afternoon at Groton.
