During the winter season just concluded Dartmouth athletic teams established an enviable record, bringing to the college two intercollegiate championships and other places of scarcely lesser rank. The varsity basketball team brought to Hanover for the first time the championship of the Eastern Intercollegiate Basketbal? League, and the Dartmouth Gymnasium team, defeated only by the Navy, scored a clean cut victory in the Intercollegiate Gymnasium Team League.
The Green hockey team was defeated during the ice season only by Harvard and in a later engagement held the Crimson to a tie score through 90 minutes of play. The freshman basketball team played through its schedule without losing a single game, the fencing team lost but two of its eight scheduled engagements, and the swimming team finished in a tie with Syracuse for fourth place in the Swimming League.
One of the interesting features of the season just past was the unusual series of victories over Princeton teams, the Tiger having been for a long period of years the only producer of teams which seemed consistently to be in command of a "jinx" over Dartmouth. The Green hockey team decisively defeated Princeton in two games, the basketball team won two out of three encounters with Nassau men, and the swimming, gymnasium, and fencing teams were also victorious against the Orange and Black.
