Co-Orchids This Month

Trying to select the Dartmouth team or Dartmouth athlete most deserving of orchids for the month is going to add one more gray hair to the sports editor's crown.

There was, during the month, Captain Roger Dudis' winning basket with two seconds remaining in the first Yale game at Hanover; the plucky uphill fight staged by the Green sextet in downing Princeton before a capacity Carnival throng; the exhibition of great leadership by Captain Bob Cushman of the swimming team; the courage shown by Captain Jim Feeley, who returned to the ice with a bad charley horse to direct his six to the last ounce of effort against the Tigers; the continuance of brilliant shooting by sophomore forward Gus Broberg on the courts; and several and sundry other deeds completed along the lines of the very best in Dart- mouth sports ideals.

When all is said and done, however, the award goes this month to cocaptains Dick Durrance and Howie Chivers of the ski team, not only for their accomplishments during this past Carnival, but for the long four- year stretch in which they have served their college in intercollegiate sport.

From his freshman to his senior years Chivers has been an outstanding asset to the Green team in the langlauf, the combined and jumping.

Durrance, one of the all-time greats of Dartmouth's athletic history, ended his local competitive career in a blaze of glory, and whenever future Green sports followers mention undergraduates who reach stardom in any of the sports, they might do well to remember that Durrance has established a world-wide intercollegiate supremacy that all who follow will be hard put to equal.
