MISCELLANY

Just to keep in the spirit of things, Coach Elmer Lampe inaugurated something new after the end of spring football. This amiable mentor has the boys working out for a few weeks in the gymnasium at, of all things, spring basketball No issue of this family journal would be complete without a hockey item. You will remember that we noted the selection for the all-League team, said group consisting of five Dartmouths and a lone Yale. It seems that a recount of the balloting nominated Dartmouth's Bobbie Merriam to the starting sextet in place of the Yale, thereby making the first time that a given institution has amassed all six places. This seems almost unbelievable, but in the interests of sober journalistic accuracy it is the truth

The brief spring season has been marked by some sparkling performances on the part of the freshman baseball and lacrosse teams. Two Hanover boys (Mike Choukas and John Boardman) are currently winning their third set of numerals on the yearling nine. Both boys won numerals in football; Choukas played on the hockey team and Boardman won his second set in skiing The Dartmouth Corinthian Yacht Club has been carrying on gallantly in tough Ivy League competition, doing their practicing at Lake Mascoma..... Playing at number 4 on the tennis team, Bill Dey is well on his way to winning his third letter this year, the other two being football and basketball. He and Bobbie Merriam will thus, to the best of your correspondent's knowledge, be the only three-letter winners currently in college As this column goes to press, word of the annual athletic awards has just been received. The Dartmouth Cup, given annually to "the athlete who by his conduct both on the field and off has reflected the most credit on the College," was awarded to Robert L. Merriam '4B, whose exploits have played a prominent part in these pages for the past two years. Captain of soccer this last fall and lacrosse this spring, Bobbie spent the winter centering the first line on Coach Jeremiah's hockey team. In that connection he was also awarded the Robert E. Mulhern trophy for the senior "who has shown the most improvement in hockey." Thus Bobbie made off with two of the three athletic awards, to the satisfaction of the entire college The final kudo of the year went to Henry F. (Hank) Durham '46, first baseman on the ball team and league-leading hitter, who received the James H. Cooke Trophy "as the student who has done the most for baseball at Dartmouth" during the current year. Hank is also a popular choice for this award, which was won last year by Art Young. With these expressions of respectful esteem, another college year draws to a close.
