Williams Defeats Lacrosse Varsity 7-2 at Williamstown

An exceptional Williams lacrosse team outran, outplayed, and outshot the varsity lacrosse squad to hand the Crimson its eighth loss yesterday on a very slow Williamstown field, 7 to 2. The Crimson turned in its best performance of the season, despite the five-goal margin.

Ephman goalie Smith broke up all but two Crimson thrusts in the slow contest, and turned out at least five "sure" scores. Only Johnny Lane and Jim Gale managed to tally for the Crimson, while Southall led the Williams attack with three markers.

Cole opened with a quick unassisted score for the Ephmen, but Lane took a pass from Hoagland to tie the score near the end of the period. Weaver gave Williams a lead which it never lost less than two minutes into the second period and the match was effectively over. Brockleman passed to Southall a minute later for a score and Williams led at the half, 3 to 1.

Captain Dexter Lewis assisted Gale for a Crimson tally at twelve and a half minutes of the third stanza, but Southall, unassisted, retaliated five seconds before the period closed. Foehl scored on an assist from Southall at 4:23 of the final quarter, and Southall made it 6 to 2 a minute later. Hilliard closed the scoring on an unassisted play two and a half minutes before the match ended.

The varsity will again be looking for its first win against Princeton Saturday.
