JUNE 1930

For those who have been yearning all year for a winning Big Green team, for those who have not lost heart when the various winter sports went awry, all fondest dreams have come true as this is being written, and the baseball team rides high in first place in the Eastern Intercollegiate League.

Victor over Columbia and Princeton twice, Pennsylvania, and Yale once, the Dartmouth baseball team is out in front by a comfortable margin and Bart McDonough and Lauri Myllykangas are the heroes of Hanover.

After a disastrous Southern trip, during which they dropped ball games with regularity, the nine has found itself and has become rejuvenated to the extent that it is at present one of the best working combinations in the East.

the record of this 1930 Green edition of baseball. Only two men, Gunnar Hollstrom and Lauri Myllykangas, have shouldered the pitching burden, and their work alone has kept Dartmouth in the running. Way back on April 11, Dartmouth faced Yale in their first league game and dropped a close decision by a 4-3 score. Then the team was revised forthwith by Jeff Tesreau, and the new combination has been working smoothly ever since. Six league opponents in a row, victories over Wesleyan and Brown, and a hair line defeat at the hands of Harvard compose

Let's look into the changes. First, Hank Barber, ponderous football player, was shifted to first base. Although he is not a stylish fielder, his stick work has been above par. Ed Jeremiah, that game little football and hockey player, was a second baseman two years ago, but was sort of out of things last season. He was moved back to his old position and has been there ever since. Ed Picken, regular second baseman of last year was on the injured list from basketball, but when he was able to be around, Tesreau put him out in right field, and that is where he has been.
