Laurels for the Freshmen

Regarding the freshmen teams, the outstanding performers to date are the hockey and basketball outfits.

I have not been overly enthusiastic over varsity hockey this year, and in fact have not seen the team in action due to conflicting dates and absences, but I did make a point of seeing the freshmen in action against Harvard's freshmen. It was one of the big games of the year in Hanover; it outranked the varsity contests in interest, and the crowd of

1500 which turned out to see this freshman contest was transformed into a roaring, howling mob of Green enthusiasts as the freshmen surged up and down the rink in the successful attempt to keep their year's record clean against an equally great combination.

If these players are eligible next year, and there is every reason to believe that they will be, Dartmouth will see a renaissance in hockey. The forward line is composed of Capt. Frank Spain, Roland Morton and Ike Powers. Spain is a demon on skates, and Morton, whose elder brother has been in the sports spotlight, will develop into one of the best hockey players in the East. A chap named McHugh tends goal, and is understudied by Neill. Both are brilliant performers.

This particular game ended with a 4-2 victory over Harvard, and one of the features was a single handed dash of ice length by Powers when there were only three Dartmouth men on the ice. This goal broke Harvard's heart, and there were three scores in that final period which gave Dartmouth the game.

In freshman basketball the team goes along its undefeated way, although the path has been much easier than in hockey. The outstanding triumph was a 57-24 victory over the Harvard freshmen, and all down the line a 40-point average margin has been maintained against such teams as New Hampton, Tilton and Clark.
