Varsity Lacrosse Tops Penn, 13-2, To Extend Current Winning Streak

The varsity lacrosse team last week turned over a new leaf when it ended a nine game losing streak by beating M.I.T. and continued the new stride Saturday by running all over Penn, 13 to 3.

On foreign soil, the Crimson revived the ghost of early season promise, scoring three times in the first period, four in the second, one in the third, and five in the fourth. "A well deserved win," said Coach Bruce Munro.

The final scoring burst came after Munro had shifted midfielders Jerry Carter, Mike Holmes, and John Lane to the attack, Carter and Holmes each scoring one. Captain Dexter Lewis, Jim Gale, and Deke Smith also scored in the final period.

Lewis tallied the Crimson singleton in the third period as well as one in the second to lead the varsity attack. Scoring one each with Lewis in the second frame were Dub Mallonee, Smith, and Don Dawidoff.

The heavy concentration of Crimson scores in the second period signified the regaining of control after a hurry of activity by Penn which netted the Enemy its three goals. All three passed through Crimson goalie Dick MacKinnon between 11:35 and 12:12 of the second period. At 12:13 the varsity cooled itself and Penn with a time-out and returned to dominate play for the rest of the game.

Starting attackman Larry Coburn scored twice for the varsity in the first period, and Mallonee once. Also in the starting attack were Lewis and Dawidoff.

MacHyde, Gale and Tim Draper opened at midfield for the varsity. Starting for a defense that has not always held firm for the whole game, Fred Sharf, Jim Herscot, and Leo Daley kept the Pennsylvanians in their own end except for the momentary slip in the second period.
