Act two of Dartmouth's 1933-34 sports drama has come to a close, and a great bustle of scene-shifting and part-rehearsing now goes on in preparation for the third and final act, which is scheduled to run throughout April, May and June. Hockey, former darling of the gallery, stole the second act completely, while basketball, which was billed as co-star, suffered from stage fright most of the time but nevertheless managed to finish in excellent form. And, as theatrical jargon will have it, track and swimming did capable work in the supporting roles.

The winning of the first Quadrangular Hockey League championship and the consequent return of the ice sport to its own at Dartmouth, were by all odds the highlights of the winter season. With only one defeat in six league battles, and that at the hands of Yale in an overtime game, Coach Gill's Big Green sextet became the first winner of the Hobey Baker trophy and did a wholesale job of record-smashing by sweeping the Harvard and Princeton series and splitting even with the jinxy Elis.

Frankie Spain, Dartmouth's diminutive center, led the league in scoring with five goals and nine assists, and Paul Guibord, Green wing, was close on his heels with seven goals and three assists. Both men were named on the All-League sextet which the coaches selected. Other members of the mythical sextet were Kammer of Princeton, left wing; Lane of Princeton, right defense; Robson of Yale and Gilligan of Yale, tied for left defense; and deGive of Harvard, goalie.
