FRESHMAN BASKETBALL

Freshmen 48 — Goddard Seminary 13

The freshmen opened their court season with an overwhelming victory over Goddard Seminary just before the varsity men took the measure of Yale. The yearlings completely baffled and outplayed their opponents, their fast floor work and accurate shooting uniting in a team play that Goddard had no chance of disturbing. Malcolm, the former Holyoke star, led the Hanover scoring with 20 points, Watkins and Eastburne each following with 10.

Freshmen 60 — Montpelier Seminary 15

In their second appearance the coming generation of basket tossers put down the Montpelier Seminary team, which claimed the Interscholastic championship of New Hampshire and Vermont, in an exhibition which proved Coach Zahn's boys to be stars of particular brightness.

The excellent floor work, accurate shooting, and close guarding of the youngsters is represented by the final score of 60 to IS by which the Vermont boys were subdued. The Montpelier team was not a weak aggregation and their efforts at times showed them to have been well coached, but they were unable to make any headway against the organization presented by the freshmen.

Malcolm was the high scorer for the freshmen in this contest, garnering 11 baskets from the floor and two free throws. Eastburne with a total of 14, and Goldstein and Patten with 10 points apiece contributed further to the imposing score.

Freshmen 54 — Tilton Seminary 20

Playing a consistent though rather slow game the freshmen followed the varsity conquest of Cornell by smiting Tilton to the tune of 54 to 20. Again Malcolm led the yearling contributors, his 11 field baskets and two from the foul line counting for 24 of the Green's total. Patten scored seven field goals for 14 points, and Watkins netted 10 more by his five baskets. Uehlein, with four floor counters and six from the safety zone scored 14 of Tilton's 20 points.

Harvard 1924, 40 — Freshmen 34

Failure to head off Stevens and Gordon, the strong men of the Harvard freshman offensive, and a number of fouls in the last minutes of play, were factors in the first defeat of the Green cubs. The game was close throughout with the lead passing from one team to another until the Crimson youngsters, grabbing it within five minutes of the game's close, held it to the end.

Gordon of Harvard showed the way in the scoring with six floor baskets and 14 from the foul line, making up 26 points of the Harvard total. Stevens followed him with six more baskets. For Dartmouth, Malcolm's score of 12 points, including five field throws, headed the list, Patten, Watkins, and Thurston trailing with two baskets apiece.

Freshmen 37 — Worcester 19

The freshmen followed the Harvard defeat with a win over Worcester Academy in a fast, sharp game in which the Worcester team's merit is not shown by the final score. The Academy this year has one of the best teams in its history, but the accurate throwing of the Dartmouth boys could not be overcome. Eastburne and Patten each netted five Green baskets from the floor, and Watkins and Malcolm followed with three of the same brand.

Dartmouth 52 — Williston 15

Malcolm's 14 field baskets and four points from the foul line counted for 32 parts of the freshman victory over Williston Academy, Jan. 22. With the exception of a brief rally at the opening of the second half the invaders never threatened the Green playboys.

The superior team work and accuracy of shooting displayed by the freshmen gave them an overwhelming lead which Williston was never able to eat into. In addition to the scoring of Malcolm the Dartmouth total was piled up by contributions of three field baskets apiece by Watkins and Eastburne, and two by Thurston.

Malcolm Captains Freshmen

Following the victory over Montpelier Seminary, J. A. Malcolm, the individual star of the freshman team, was elected to captain the quintet through the coming season. Before coming to Dartmouth Malcolm played for three years on the Holyoke High School team which for two years held the scholastic championship. Last year Malcolm starred for the strong Cushing Academy team.
