Arraignment Set For This Monday On Coach Scalise

Robert L. Scalise head coach of the men's lacrosse and women's soccer teams faces arraignment Monday at Brookline Municipal Court on a charge that he was an "accessory after the fact" to an April 16 felony.

At the arrangement, a court date will be set for the Scalise case, and the coach will have the option of receiving a court appointed lawyer.

The charge against Scalise stems from an alleged attack with a baseball bat on a 16-year-old male by a man who drove away in an automobile allegedly bearing the license plates of Scalise's car.

Scalise has not been implicated in the assault itself.

Police still have apparently failed to catch the assailant, although Brookline police officers deferred all questions pertaining to the case to Detective John Trainor, who is vacationing until late next week.

The mother of the victim, Peggy Flood. said yesterday she had heard nothing from the police about the investigation and she assumed there had been no new developments.

Scalise, who has returned to the area after being out of the country during part of June could not be reached for for comment yesterday although phone messages were left at his home Director of Athletics John P. Reardon '60 also could not be reached for comment.

But when asked at about the alleged incident in May Reardon said. I have absolute and total faith in him that no such incident occured."

Mrs Flood said her son Eddie recently had stitches removed from a head injury received during the incident and was fully recovered.
