Other Sports
The swimming team uncovered a great sophomore star in Dick Banfield, who is the Green's lone representative in the Intercollegiates. Over the course of the season, ten Dartmouth swimming and pool records were broken, and three of these came in a special test before the last meet.
John Monagan swam to a new record in the 100-yard backstroke, when he negotiated the distance in 1:06.6; George Thatford broke his own record in the 100-yard breaststroke with the time of 1:16.8; while a medley relay team composed of Monagan, Hymen and Banfield lowered the mark to 3:21.4 for the 300-yard distance.
Swimmers Make Local Records
Two Dartmouth pool records were broken in the 200- and 400-yard relay events, the second being hung up by the Harvard team, and the first being made by a Dartmouth team of Leveen, Smith, Doscher and Banfield in the time of 1:39.2.
Thatford was also credited with a record in the 200-yard breaststroke made against Brown when he covered the distance in 2:46.6 during a meet which Dartmouth won by a 47-24 score.
King, Doscher, Smith and Banfield lowered a Dartmouth swimming record in the 200-yard relay against M. I. T. to 1:37.6 during a meet which came out 59-18 in the Green's favor, while a relay team in the 400-yard event composed of Smith, Leveen, Banfield and Ballard swam to a new Dartmouth record of 3:48.6 in the Syracuse meet.
Letter awards were as follows: B. D. Jeffrey, E. S. Smith, R. L. Harrison, G. S. Thatford, R. Doscher, W. H. King, J. Monagan, K. Weeman, J. Ballard, R. Banfield, W. W. Leveen and S. C. Meigher, the last four named being sophomores.
Monagan was elected captain.
Boxers Tie Two, Lose Three
The boxing team closed its season with the record of tying two and losing three meets. The team, coached well by Eddie Shevlin, could not quite make the grade, although all the matches seemed unusually close to this observer. The team helped out in a great boxing and wrestling show which was given for the benefit of the Mary Hitchcock Memorial Hospital and the Olympic Fund, but lost to M. I. T. 4-3 on that occasion.
It was the most successful show in years, with Gus Sonnenberg and Jack Ganson as the wrestling headliners. In addition to wrestling, spectators were treated to the sight of three former New England champions in the same ring when Lou Brouillard, who held the world's welterweight title, met Al Mello, and Eddie Shevlin refereed.
The final match was lost to New Hampshire 4-3 with several of the decisions being a little too close for comfort. Those who won their letters were Capt. Bill Brister, Bob Veres, H. J. Rabinovitz and A. M. Sarajian.
Freshman Sports
Freshman basketball kept up an unde- feated record, although the little Clark School team gave the yearlings the hardest rub of all in a 33-27 game to close the season. Freshman hockey was highly disappointing with a record of four defeats by major opponents.
Next month''we will turn to the out-of-doors where baseball, track and lacrosse will hold full sway, but remembering the sad experiences of the winter season, the last thing in the world I would do at present would be to tell you that the baseball team looks like a million and appears to be the strongest that good old Jeff Tesreau has gathered together in years. As a matter of fact they look pretty good on paper, but as yet they are not even out of the gym.
