If that's not enough, he tried out for Major League Lacrosse - at the age of 67.
As a junior in 1960, he scored the game-winning goal and made 20 saves in a he did make 20 saves in a 6-5 win over Cornell to win the Ivy League championship. AÂ Â three-year starter for the Tigers, he led Princeton to a 14-0-1 record in Ivy League games in his career. His resume includes being a two-time first-team All-Ivy League selection, a 1961 first-team All-American and a 1985 inductee into the National Lacrosse Hall of Fame, shortly after his brother Buzzy, Princeton Class of 1958, was.
