ATHLETIC REVIEW OF THE YEAR 1913-1914

Although summaries and reviews of the various sports have been frequent throughout the year, the year's successes and failures are assembled below in order to give a comprehensive view of the whole.

All in; all Dartmouth has good reason to be content with the general results. Football, baseball, track, and hockey teams triumphed over great handicaps. True, the jinx got the better of the baseball squad, but it was fortunate he was so easily placated.

FOOTBALL

The football season under the leadership of Coach Cavanaugh and Robert N. Hogsett as captain was the most successful in several years. Every game that tradition or intense college rivalry, gave importance was won by decisive scores. Only the Indians in the final contest were able to stop the "Diminutive Big Green Team." The scores follow:

Dartmouth 13—Mass. State 3. Dartmouth 53—Colby 0. Dartmouth-Norwich, cancelled. Dartmouth 33—Vermont 7 Dartmouth 48—Williams 6 Dartmouth 6—Princeton 0 Dartmouth 21—Amherst 7 Dartmouth 34—Pennsylvania 21 Dartmouth 10—Carlisle 35

BASEBALL

The baseball season may with good reason be called a success. Every scheduled game was played, not counting ante-season games. Of these 16 were won with a total of 138 runs to the total of 95 runs for the Green's opponents. The home team won eight of the last ten games played. Scores:

Dartmouth 3—Colby 5 Dartmouth 10—Colby 2 Dartmouth 2—Holy Cross 4 Dartmouth 2—Syracuse 5 Dartmouth 10—Cornell 0 Dartmouth 7—Syracuse 1 Dartmouth 7—Mass. Aggies 2 Dartmouth 1—Penn. State 5 Dartmouth 5—Vermont5—Vermont 2 Dartmouth 5—Wesleyan 4 Dartmouth 2—Tufts 8 Dartmouth 1—Yale1—Yale 2 Dartmouth 4—Tufts 0 Dartmouth 6—Williams 10 Dartmouth 2—Princeton 3 Dartmouth 3—Holy Cross 7 Dartmouth 3—Norwich 0 Dartmouth 10—Harvard 2 Dartmouth 6—Univ. of Penn. 2 Dartmouth 7—Wesleyan 4 Dartmouth 4—Holy Cross 5 Dartmouth 4—Colgate 3 Dartmouth 12—Rennselaer 4 Dartmouth 5—Williams 2 Dartmouth 4—Vermont 10 Dartmouth 7—Amherst 0 Dartmouth 6—Amherst 3

TRACK

Never had the track outlook been much more gloomy than in the fall of the past year. Practically the entire track team had been lost by graduation. Yet from the lot of green material a team was built up by Coach Hillman that in the end won the New England Intercollegiates for Dartmouth and that for the first time placed the Green among the first four in the big Intercollegiates.

Cross-country in the fall gave little encouragement. The dual meet with Maine at Hanover October 25 was lost 20-35. Against eight colleges in the New England Intercollegiates at Hanover November 15, Dartmouth took second again, losing to Maine by only a four point margin however.

Then the mile and two mile relay teams were developed during the winter months. In the B. A. A. games in Boston February 7, Riley, Tucker, Granger, and Marceau ran away from the Pennsylvania quartet in the two mile event. Llewellyn, Braun, O'Connor and Olsen lost to the M. I. T. runners in the shorter event.

The showing of the relay teams was reversed at Hartford, February 20 when Pennsylvania evened up in the two mile by defeating Dartmouth and the milers won from Wesley an.

Coach Hillman next turned his attention to developing new material in a series of four interclass handicap meets in Alumni Gymnasium during March. His success with both the old men and new men was conspicuous. Every week saw one or more indoor records broken and by the end of the series a fairly good track team had been developed.

The* two mile relay team competed in the Pennsylvania Relay Carnival April 25 and took fourth place losing to Illinois, Michigan, and Chicago. Then on May 9 handicapped by lack of outdoor practice, the entire track team went to Philadelphia for. a dual meet and came home defeated 67 1-2—49 1-2.

It was a better conditioned team that went to the Stadium on May 9 to compete against the colleges in the New England League. Dartmouth won easily taking 57 1-2 points to Maine, her nearest rival's 28.

Again on May 29-30 the pick of the green-jerseyed track and field competed at Cambridge, in the intercollegiate games. Eight men qualified the first day. In the finals five men: Braun, Whitney, Nordell, Buck, and Marceau scored 23 points for Dartmouth winning fourth place, with Cornell first with 43 points"; Pennsylvania second with 31, and Michigan third with 29 1-2. The other colleges finished in the following order: Yale, California, Harvard, Princeton, Columbia, Brown, Penn. State, Johns Hopkins.

Only six men have been lost by graduation : Captain Olsen and O'Connor in the sprints; Marceau and Saltmarsh in the mile and two mile respectively; Buck in the pole-vault and high jump; and Little in the high jump. While their loss will be felt keenly, Coach Hillman will have a remarkably fine lot of freshman material to draw from, and in his own words, the prospects for a banner year in track athletics are very bright.

BASKETBALL

It is never pleasant to retell an unpleasant story. The basketball team had an unhappy fate meted out to it. One league victory was all the Green could boast. The scores :

Dartmouth 24—Springfield 14 Dartmouth 22—N. H. State 15 Dartmouth 20—Yale 26 Dartmouth 21—Princeton 24 Dartmouth 13—Columbia 15 Dartmouth 17—Penn. 13 Dartmouth 16—Columbia 21 Dartmouth 15—Penn. 28 Dartmouth 17—Wesleyan 22 Dartmouth 22—Yale 29 Dartmouth 16—Williams 26 Dartmouth 11—Williams 12 Dartmouth 18—Princeton 30 Dartmouth 23—Wesleyan 19 Dartmouth 20—Cornell 34 Dartmouth 18—Syracuse 29

HOCKEY

Not for many years has Dartmouth had a better hockey season than that of the past winter. Seven victories out of nine games played testifies to the excellence of the team. Only Captain Dellinger, Johnson, and Frost were lost by graduation. The score:

Dartmouth 11—M. I. T. 1 Dartmouth 6—Pilgrim A. A. 2 Dartmouth 2—Mass. Aggies 1 Dartmouth 0—Princeton 2 Dartmouth 1—Harvard 2 Dartmouth A—Yale 3 Dartmouth 7—West Point 3 Dartmouth 12—Columbia 2 Dartmouth 6—St. Paul's 2

TENNIS

The tennis team did not show, up particularly well during the past season. Occasional flashes of good team work retrieved what might otherwise have been a very poor record.

BASEBALL CAPTAINCY

Clarence L. Wanamaker '15, catcher on the varsity baseball team for the past two years, rated as one of the two best men behind the bat in all college baseball was chosen captain of the Dartmouth nine for next year.

TRACK CAPTAINCY

Laurence A. Whitney '15, "D" man in football, track, and basketball, Olympic competitor, shotput champion for 1914 in the New England Intercollegiates, and holder of no-one-knows how many other records, was elected captain of the Dartmouth track team for 1915. Whitney is also captain-elect of the Big Green football team.
