MEASLES OUTSCORE MUNROE
April 1943 J. E. Leggat '45

In the final game with Cornell, the varsity quintet had things pretty much their own way, winning 55-33 in a somewhat drab conclusion to a great season. George Munroe found he had the German measles ten minutes before the bus left Hanover, so Aud Brindley took his place in the starting lineup, and led the scoring with 15 points. Bob Myers and Jim Coleman both accounted for 10 points apiece, but Myers was out of the individual championship since Palmer of Princeton made 21 points that night against Penn to pass Budko and take the title for 1943, and probably for the duration.

Coach Ossie Cowles' seventh Dartmouth team ended up the season with a record of 19 wins and 2 losses, one to Toledo and one to Princeton, but from now until after the war Cowles will be working for Uncle Sam as a Lieutenant in the Naval Reserve. He will serve as a member of the Naval Aviation Cadet Selection Board for the Third Naval District, which has its headquarters in New York City.

In 162 games his teams have played since he came to Hanover, 126 of them have been Dartmouth victories. On the Alumni Gym floor the Indians have lost only 4 of 77 games played in the sevenyear span, and the last one was at the hands of Cornell ig games and two seasons ago. Now Coach Cowles has the team primed for action in the coming New York tourney. Last year the Indians won the Eastern playoffs at New Orleans and then lost out to Stanford in the Kansas City finals.
