Camphor Tree and Lawn Weeds

We have a mature camphor tree in the front yard, which every year drops hundreds of berries into the grass. As a result, my lawn is INFESTED with small camphor seedlings. I used to pull them up by hand, but I can’t keep up and the lawn looks aweful – about half grass and half weed. Any suggestions for dealing with this?
