All eight colleges were well represented, attendance zoo, in our first all-out Ivy League picnic June 5, in Marin County. After the last hamburger and each of the long battery of beer barrels tested "hollow," the day added up as follows:
Princeton won the golf match with Dartmouth in third place, ONE stroke behind Cornell. Thanks anyway to Allen Lathrop '28, Brant McCullough '3l, "Jack" Francine '37, Jack Slattery '3B, and "Ollie" Webb '39.
In tennis singles Ben Webb '4O swept four matches to the championship, encouraged by Bob White '4l, who went to the semi-finals. Tom Phelps '29 and Bill Clark '42 drove through to the end in the doubles championship where they lost to Columbia after a tough three-set finals match. Total points, Dartmouth 19, Columbia 11.
In baseball, behind the sensational "clutch" pitching of "Abe" Winslow '20, Dartmouth defeated a combination team of Brown and Columbia (or was it Cornell and Penn) in the morning, while Yale was enjoying the traditional victory over Harvard. In the final "big" game, umpired by a good Cornell man, Dartmouth easily outdistanced the Bulldogs to the tune of 17 to 5, seven innings. The big "sticks" wielded for Dartmouth were held by the hands of "home run artist" Dave Smith '35, Clark, Francine, Phelps, McCullough, "sure-catch-at-the-left-field-fence" Ben Webb and his brother "Ollie," White, and Winslow with Cornehlsen '29, Bright '36, and Heller'44, standbys, having served well in the morning game.
Ivy League trophy, solid brass ship's-bell, was unveiled at the regular weekly luncheon, St. Julien's, 140 Battery Street, San Francisco, Wednesday, June 9, 1948. DARTMOUTH WINS AGAIN!
