    Stickmen Open Tomorrow...
    The Notre Dame Lacrosse Club opens its 1970 season tomorrow afternoon at 2:00 at Stepan Center against Cincinnati. The development of a number of young players will be important to the success of the Club this season. With the key men on offense and defense in last year's club graduated (Bob Morin - 105 goals in four years and Jim Wachtel - 1969 MVP), freshmen and sophomores will be called upon to fill the gaps. There are still only six seniors on the team, none on the attack, and seven juniors. Compared to last year, the depth and athletic ability is much better, so until the younger players are more experienced, these will the key to early season success. The season opens with a home game against Cincinnati and a road trip East to play Georgetown, Mt. St. Mary's and Bowie Lacrosse Club. The experience gained on the trip will be most valuable in playing against the opponents in the Midwest. Chicago LC and Wisconsin round out the schedule. Four B-team games will give all the 35 freshmen and sophomores on the team game experience against players that are more on their own level. A more balanced attack and an experienced defense should be strong points behind Notre Dame's success this season. Junior Ken Lund and Soph Ed Hoban on attack, along with Captain Tim McHugh and senior Fred Bingle in the midfield each can produce goals regularly. The rest of the midfielders, all freshmen and juniors, are very eager to show their stuff. Club President and Co-captain Jack Pierce anchors a deep defense with regulars Dave Lando and Chris Servant helping out. If the rest of the defensemen improve as much again as they have so far this season, there should be few worries at this position for a couple of years. Likewise is the goal situation. Junior Jerry Kammer is the best goalie the club will see all season. Not only did he lead the Midwest goalies in saves last season, including a fantastic 92% against Ohio U, but he clears the ball better than any goalie Notre Dame has played against. Frosh Jim Roller is better than Kammer was at the same time two years ago. The Cincinnati LC is led by ex-ND captain and All-Midwest player Bill Joseph. They are a surprising team will call for ND's best effort.
