A SUMMARY

The college year of 1920-1921 was a successful one for Dartmouth athletic teams as the record below of 89 victories and 52 defeats in 143 contests testifies. The football team playing a difficult schedule which required reaching the so-called pink of condition on alternate Saturdays was unable to win from Penn. State and Syracuse, but by victories over U. of P., Cornell, Brown, and the University of Washington distinguished itself nevertheless. The real strength of the basketball team was shown in the Intercollegiate League games in which it won seven of the 10 games scheduled, rather than in the exhihibition games when Coach Zahn was compelled to play substitute teams in order that the regular five might be kept in condition tor the league contests. The hockey team also displayed talent though forced by the mild winter to forego much practice. On the track the Green men suffered three defeats by a total for all of less than three points, yet staged a remarkable return to form in taking third place at the Intercollegiates. The baseball team likewise played through a successful season after what appeared to be a disastrous southern trip.

One of the outstanding features of the year was the success of the freshman teams. The 1924 football and basketball teams lost but one game each on their schedule, while the yearling baseball team played through a schedule of nine games without a defeat.

In Intercollegiate competitions several championships came to Hanover. The brand new swimming team took second place in the New England Intercollegiate Swimming meet W. W. Cummings '23 won the N. E. Intercollegiate Wrestling title, the basketball team finished second in the Intercollegiate League after several seasons in the cellar, and the track team was headed only by Harvard and California in the I.C.A.A.A.A. meet at Cambridge. The winning of the New England Intercollegiate Tennis Championships and the National Intercollegiate Golf Championship were performances which formed a fitting cap to the other climaxes.
