Coach Leonard Comments on
Essential Requisites of

“Regular practice and an cainc-A
desire to impiovc arc the essential
requisites for the prospectne lacrosse
player" was the statement stressed
bv Coach Leonard in his mtioductorv
talk to the lacrosse candidates last
luesduy afternoon
A largo turnout listened attentively
as the Nittany mentor deploied the
piesent status of lacrosse as a spoit
at Penn State He stated that the
gi cutest detriment to the success of
the teams in past years was the list
less attitude of the participants and
that if such u condition continues to
exist, he will recommend the abolish
ment of laciosse as a recognized
sport here
Leonard also remarked that tin*
Blue and White btick-wiclders sched
ule teams of a much higher ranking
mid are therefore unable to develop
the fundamentals ot the game He
ccmpnrcd this pinctice with “the kid
m the primary school who tries to
mister the principles of ps/chology”,
and stated that in both instances the
preliminary training is lacking
