June 1931

Developments come thick and fast along the baseball front this month, and one minute the Dartmouth nine looks like a sure winner and the next minute we are witnessing the total eclipse of a once powerful team.

It is hard to swing a team of veterans, and this year's outfit shows veteran material in every position except on the pitching mound. I have just returned from a hasty New York trip, and there witnessed the most disastrous double header ever played by Dartmouth, Columbia blasting the erstwhile Big Green right out of the League by 17-10 and 11-4 victories.

And this afternoon, while the editor is raging for his copy on time, we sat through the Princeton game, and saw a rejuvenated Dartmouth nine slaughter the Tigers 11-4. So there you are.

At present Dartmouth is standing third in the Eastern Intercollegiate League, and it is safe to say that the defending champions of 1930 have not played the baseball which characterized their predecessors of last season. The reason has been the loss of two fine pitchers, Gunnar Hollstrom by graduation and Lauri Myllykangas by injury.
