Sports

On Saturday. April 18th the
Springfield College Lacrosse team
will open an extensive spring
sports program when they invade
West Point to meet the cadets, al
ways represented by one of the
country's finest collegiate lacrosse
teams. Coach Leo Meter, with ten
lettermen, has been working hard
to get a team together that will
make 1t hard for the military la
crossers. Although the team will
have had only four days of prac-
tice they have been coming along
so great that Coach Meter feels
that the Maroons will field team

feat. The team, captained by Stuart
Townsend, is very fast and with
little more practice at stick hand
ling there Is no doubt that the
Springfield team will go through
Its eight game schedule in great
style.
On The Field
Coach II. 8. DeBroat, who has
just returned from a southern trip
with his baseball team, has been
taking advantage of this weeks
fine weather to get the team in
good shape for their opening game
with Yale next week Thursday. AL
though lacking outdoor practice
before their southern invasion, the
team won two out of three games
which they played against south
