Other Winter Sports
The remainder of the winter sports have been fairly quiet, and only the freshman hockey and basketball teams and the swimming team have finished a handful of contests. The freshman hoop team, coached by a new man, Sam Evans, has been really impressive. They have mowed down Clark School, Tilton, Holderness and Hebron by large scores, and they have the makings of a good combination. The freshman hockey team squeezed out a 1-0 victory over Cushing recently, both playing ragged hockey.
Two more-hockey games were played by Dartmouth before this issue went to press, and they were both in a way satisfying. Princeton's team, after having a hard time with Boston College, took a new lease of life, and tied the Indians 2-2, an overtime period being of no avail.
Then the old Yale jinx was brought up again, and the Blue defeated Dartmouth 1-0 in New Haven. The Green showed a far superior attack than in their previous game, and Yale managed to score only in the last period. Harold Booma, star defence man for Dartmouth was injured in this period and will be out for several days, if not longer. Sid Hazelton's swimmers, in defeating C. C.N.Y. in a league meet by a large score, showed some potentialities, although the New Yorkers never have strong combinations. The water polo squad were also returned victors by a large score, a certain player named Harrison being the whole show.
The swimmers have the makings of a strong team, as quite a few veterans are returning. Karl Michael, former intercollegiate champion diver, has reconsidered his former stand that the Glee Club meant more than a swimming meet, and will appear in home meets. He will be supported by Hubbard and Leigh, both good divers.
Capt. John Bryant started in the season by lowering the pool record in the 50 yard freestyle, and seems destined for an undefeated season. Birnie and McCaw are two other veterans in the 440 and backstroke, respectively.
The swimming team just managed to gain a sensational win over Brown at Providence by a 39-23 score. Capt. Bryant figured in three firsts, and his performance saved the day for Dartmouth.
