There was some skepticism earlier in the season that the lightweight might not be able to maintain their top ranking, but under new coach Steve Gladstone, the Crimson routed every crew it faced and repeated its 1968 victory at the Sprints...
This spring's lacrosse team was not one of your basic clutch ballclubs. In the Ivy League this season, probably only Princeton had as much talent as they Crimson, and yet Harvard ended up with an anemic 2-4 record, worse than last year. The Tigers turned out not to be too strong under pressure, either, dropping their last three league games. If Cornell beats Dartmouth Wednesday as it should, then nearly half the league (three of seven teams) will be in first place. Harvard is a solid sixth...

The Crimson played about as it had all year, but that is not really "good" compared to how well a team with that much talent should play. It seems likely that the disasters of this season have warped Munro's sense of judgment. But a coach of a disappointing team cannot be held responsible for the state of his mind...
...been able to work outside would not have been reason for discouragement, but when half the team gets injured, that's reason. Three-quarters of the experienced defense was out of action, as were several other players. Kirby Wilcox and Pete Barber ended up sitting out the entire season. So Harvard was certainly not a lucky team and had a good alibi for early-season difficulties, but when most of the team was well again, there was not much of an alibi left...

This may sound silly, but when the team can not even afford to have a small banquet at the season's end, it's hard to overcome the feeling that the sport is strictly minor league. More crucial is the fact that funds are necessary to hire another coach or two to help Munro. It is simply impossible for one coach to handle a team of almost 30 players during practice. Two volunteers with considerable ability came down when they could to help, but there...
