Hockey—Gym—Boxing

Other winter sports have gone their way without much undue excitement. The hockey team, after taking three defeats from Yale and one from Princeton, suffered defeat from Harvard in Boston by a 4-2 score. Many expected to see Dartmouth take a walloping from the Crimson and were surprised to see Dartmouth stand off Harvard after three goals had been scored against the Indians in the very first period. A defeat by Clarkson 6-3 on the home rink left Dartmouth without a single major conquest, the only victories coming over the Williams sextet by a 9-0 score, and Vermont by 10-0.

The gym team won from Bowdoin 38-16, but dropped a close meet to New York University by 25-29 when Herman Witzig, N. Y. U.'s great Olympic performer, scored 25 of his team's points personally. The fencing team dropped a match to Norwich as a Carnival feature, 7-6, but came back to win from Bowdoin 7-2.

The boxing team has really compiled a notable record, and Eddie Shevlin's sport takes on more and more interest each year. The first team that Harvard has ever had came to Hanover and was defeated 4-S, and Western Maryland went down before the Green by the same score. Capt. Billy Alton is back in the 145-pound class after a semester's absence, and other men have been developed, notably Wilkin, Peterson, Veres and Bean.

The freshman swimming team, a new organization in the past few years, started off right by defeating Exeter away from home by a 37-29 score, thereby keeping the string of freshmen victories intact.

Next month will be a good time to tell all about track, for by that time the Harvard-Dartmouth-Cornell meet will be history.
