Prospects for 1975
· Richard "OJ" Caron has acted as a steadying force on the lacrosse club for several years. His constant enthusiasm for the game and his organizational ability have helped this year's club enjoy better communication with the University. His scrappiness, quickness and outstanding hustle make him an ideal midfielder. Alias "Shultz" he tends to mix it up if the occasion should arise.
· Co-captain John Corcoran played two years of lacrosse in high school and demonstrates a natural knack for the game. His trademarks on the field are spinning moves, bird-like-legs and curley red hair. An economics major, "Cork" finds he has little or no school work and spends much of his time with his turtles.
· Co-captain Joe Meares is an attackman from Hicksville, NY. He played several years in high school and is most noted for his fine feed passes. Easily confused with Howdy Doody, Joe hopes to become an accountant but says he could be satisfied working in a hair boutique if given the chance.
· Steve Tarnow, a midfielder from Seneca Falls was an outstanding lacrosse player in high school. Last year's MVP and leading scorer, he has probably the best raw talent on the team. The members of this year's club are hopeful that this will be Steve's most productive season. Sometimes known as "The Turtle", one can never anticipate his moves.
· Bill Foley, the ageless one, has been a fixture here on and off the field for the past six years. A self-proclaimed lacrosse defenseman, "Wild Bill" is best known for his brutalizing checks on unwary attackmen and his telephone pole wooden sticks. Bill's outside interests include NROTC, the organic chemistry club and doing repair work on the gaping holes in his apartment walls.
· Jim McEntee, another attackman from Hicksville, shows constant hustle and desire. Jim's wit is well known throughout the Midwest's McDonald's restaurants. Better known as the team jester, a road trip without Mack is like traveling to a game in a car for four hours and finding out that it had been cancelled.
· John Farrell is a midfielder from Falmouth, Mass. He has been hampered by bad knees and recently had an operation. However, his determination and hard work will help him in his comeback and will definitely be an asset to the midfield line-up.
· Fedele Volpe another Long Island attackman should be a mainstay on the attack this year. His burley style is characterized by bullish drives to the cage and an accurate shot. Although not a relative of the Cuban dictator, Fedele lives under constant threat of being deported.
· Paul Rizzo, a midfielder from Detroit, has made great strides over the last three years. His hustle and fine stick-handling ability make him a constant threat to the opposition. Always calm and collected on the field, "the Italian Greaseball" is a favorite with the girls, but prefers one-sided conversations with his dog, Spot.
· Kevin Fogarty, a crease attackman from Collingdale, PA is a converted midfielder. He has opted for the crease because, in his words, "there's ten times the scoring, with half the effort". Better known as "Glory Boy", he is characterized on the field by his fine quick stick and his anti-aircraft shot.
· Tom McHugh is a midfielder from Newport News, VA. Tom started his lacrosse career three years ago and has made outstanding progress by his hustle and positive attitude. Featuring a cannonball shot, which nobody has the faintest idea where it's going, the Loose Goose consequently bagged two unfortunate relatives (geese) who strayed within 5,000 feet of the lacrosse field.
· Dave McLoughlin from Cumberland, RI and Steve Waterman from Tonawanda, NY have shown that determination and desire can steadily improve their midfield skills. Lacking the finesse of most lacrosse players, their devoted team effort has helped our club as a whole over the past three seasons.

The 1975 Season
The team started its usual winter workouts in February and pointed towards the annual spring trip, this year going to Miami, FL. Success was plentiful in the land of sunshine with the team winning all three of its scheduled contests. Upon returning to Notre Dame however, the club found inclement weather and misfortune. The first three games were lost partly because of the weather and a lack of practice and partly because of mental errors; from then on, the team traded a win for a loss.
The Columbus game was a tribute to the determination of the team. Being tied at halftime, Columbus went on a rampage and scored four unanswered goals in the third quarter. But the Irish fought back to within one goal before they ran out of time, losing 11-10.
The Chicago game, although a loss, was remarkable due to the fact it was played in Notre Dame Stadium.

The 1975 Season
The team started its usual winter workouts in February and pointed towards the annual spring trip, this year going to Miami, FL. Success was plentiful in the land of sunshine with the team winning all three of its scheduled contests. Upon returning to Notre Dame however, the club found inclement weather and misfortune. The first three games were lost partly because of the weather and a lack of practice and partly because of mental errors; from then on, the team traded a win for a loss. The Columbus game was a tribute to the determination of the team. Being tied at halftime, Columbus went on a rampage and scored four unanswered goals in the third quarter. But the Irish fought back to within one goal before they ran out of time, losing 11-10. The Chicago game, although a loss, was remarkable due to the fact it was played in Notre Dame Stadium.
