THE PRESENT ATHLETIC SITUATION

Changes in Dartmouth's outdoor athletic plant are revolutionary and complete, creating in any observer optimism and enthusiasm in regard to the immediate future of her athletics. A new football surface, sweeping and wide circular and straight-a-way tracks, new areas for baseball, fifteen new tennis courts, and a new hockey rink all help to contribute to the conviction that the quality of the performances thereon must measurably improve.

It is not the purpose of this article, however, to paint a rosy picture of Dartmouth's athletic future, but rather to set before the interested alumni a few details concerning the personnel of those engaged to coach our teams, concerning the schedules which may be faced, and concerning the quality and amount of the material to be available during the present year.

The present group of coaches is the best ever gathered to direct the efforts of Dartmouth's teams. Our schedules are gradually improving and more contacts are being made in more branches of sports with those rivals desired as opponents. It is certain that athletic young men in ever-increasing numbers are turning to Hanover for their choice of a college.
