MISCELLANY
To the surprise of nobody at all, Eddie Leede was elected captain of basketball for the coming year. Picked for the second year in succession on the All-League first team, Eddie will complete his career next year with one of the greatest Dartmouth scoring records of all time Hockey Captain for next year is goalie Dick Desmond, whose work in the nets the past two years has been outstanding. Earning a first-string berth in the 1945-4.6 season as a freshman, Desmond has continued to tend the goal ever since. In the first ten games this season, he set up an average of less than two goals per game, as well as performing brilliantly in the other victories and the rare defeats suffered this season. .... Coach Ellie Noyes did not take his men on a spring trip this year, so prognostications on the track season will have to wait for a later date. Captain Wlt New-man in the dashes, Bill Kimball in the hurdles, Les Kleist in the jumps, and Jim Burnham in the weights will provide the nucleus for the squad The tennis team did not make a spring trip either, and Coach Hoehn's netmen will not have any varsity competition until the opening of the season against Cornell on May 1. Paul Campbell transfers his activities from basketball to captain this year's tennis team One final note on (guess what) hockey. The All-Quadrangular League first team contained a paltry five Dartmouth men (out of six). Desmond was chosen goalie, Whitey Campbell and Mike Thayer were at defense, and Billy and Joe Riley were at the wings. Some character from Yale was the only outsider. The second team was composed of Malone Crowley, and Merriam on the line, with George Pulliam at defense, and Arnie Oss was placed on a third line. We always like to close on a happy note.
GOING INTO THE LAST LAP of the mile in the indoor meet at Yale, March 13, Malcolm Decker leads but finally finished second to Yale's George Wade, right behind him above. Yale won the meet, 74-35.
