When the varsity lacrosse team faces M.I.T. today they will be a little weaker than the team that bested the Engineers by 12 goals a year ago, while the Engineers are certain to field a much stronger team. The result may well lead to what coach Bruce Munro terms a "nip and tuck game situation...
...season's opener, a 10 to 4 romp over Hofstra, was one of surprising ease for Munro's highly touted squad. While the Crimson could not score at will, they still were able to put the game on ice before half time. Captain Grady Watts led the team in scoring with three goals and two assists.
