MISCELLANY

The track season never really gets under way until the Indoor Intercollegiates, when it is suddenly over for a couple of months. Coach Ellie Noyes sent a team to the West Point Relays, which managed to pick up a few individual points (there was no team score). John Hanley took fourth in the mile, Les Kleist got a third in the broad jump, and Roger Hillas tied for fourth in the high jump. A shuttle hurdle relay team took third behind Manhattan and the Army. And that was about all for that meet A mile relay team went to the BAA games and came in third, with several individual performers failing to place in other events My scouts tell me that the freshman basketball team is only slightly less than terrific, beating its foes by scores like 75-30. We could use a few of those boys around here next year Coach Jeremiah has also gathered a powerful aggregation of freshman hockey players, whom he is cannily keeping on ice (no pun intended) until next year, when he will have lost a number of his choicest current operatives The squash team .has been having its ups and downs this winter, losing a close match to McGill, 4-3, but downing Toronto, 6-1, on a recent trip to Canada Five outstanding performers were lost to various Green teams by graduation this February. Playing their last game for Dartmouth over Carnival were Aud Brindley in basketball; Captain Ralph Warburton, Soup Campbell (defense), and Manny Benero (sub goalie) in hockey; and fancy diver Ed Tevald in swimming. They will all be missed.

Several off-season changes in the varsity football coaching staff have taken place since our last issue. Meryll Frost '44, Big Green star of two seasons ago and jayvee and freshman aide this past fall, has left to take a position as executive secretary of the Bay State League for the Crippled and Handicapped. Ray Riddick, former Green Bay Packer and Fordham star, gave up his end coaching duties to become head coach of puissant Lowell (Mass.) High School. Dick Cassiano, the former "Dandy Dick" of the famed Pitt dream backfield of the mid-thirties, traded his Dartmouth backfield job for one at his alma mater with the added responsibilities of working on the alumni relations staff at Pitt. George Barclay, head line coach and former North Carolina Ail-American, went to the University of Maryland as a tutor of linemen under his old teammate, Head Coach Jim Tatum. The only announced replacement thus far released by the DC AC is that of the return of John Dell Isola, former Fordham and New York Giant line great, who will return as head line coach, a position he filled under Tuss McLaughry in the latter's first year at Hanover in 1941.
