Article published praising recently deceased alumnus John 'Hezzy' Howard

Lacrosse Magazine has published an article praising Washington College graduate John Howard. Known as Hezzy to most, Howard coached the 1967 Lacrosse Champions at the University of Maryland College Park, where he was a professor and chair of the English Department. Among his accomplishments are two published books on the 18th century author William Blake and an induction into the National Lacrosse Hall of Fame in 1978.

Hezzy played lacrosse for WAC in the 1950s, winning the Turnball Award for the best attackman in the country. 

After a month-long struggle with pneumonia, Hezzy died this summer on July 19th at 73 years old.
