FOLLOWING THE BIG GREEN TEAMS

Big Green Teams have more than held their own in winter competition, the hockey team leading the Quadrangular League at this point, the basketball team standing in second place in the Eastern Intercollegiate League, and the Dartmouth ski team having captured the championship of the Intercollegiate Ski Union for the sixth successive year.

In winning six of its seven contests since the examination period, Herb Gill's hockey club has downed all three league opponents on its home ice. These three games, spaced over the first two weeks of February, produced some of the closest and most exciting hockey ever witnessed in Hanover, the Indians turning back Yale, 5 to 4, Harvard, 6 to 4, and Princeton, 4 to 3. Harvard had its revenge by trouncing the Green six, 10 to 1, in a return engagement at Boston, but the result did not figure in the league standings and only served to settle the three-game Dartmouth-Harvard series in the Crimson's favor. Harvard downed the Indians at Boston, 3 to a, in the first game of the series.

In between its league encounters, the Green sextet defeated Colby, 5 to 3, Middlebury, 13 to 1, and New Hampshire, 4 to 1. All February contests, except the extra Harvard game, have been played in the Davis Rink, and the Indians are still undefeated on their home ice this season, the 4-4 tie with the Quebec Olympics back in December being the closest call.
