Green Jottings
Three new swimming records were set last month in Dartmouth's Spaulding Pool as the Big Green defeated Brown University 53-31. In the 200-yard backstroke event, Dartmouth's Neil Bersch made a new College record with a time of 2:19.2, while John Glover of Dartmouth set a new Spaulding Pool record in the 100-yard freestyle with a time of 51.6. Then Glover teamed up with Captain Chuck Luker, John Heyn and Steve Mullins to chalk up a new 400-yard relay record for Spaulding Pool with a combined time of 3:31.6. First of the winter sports to choose a captain for next year was the hockey team which elected Seaver Peters '54 of Melrose, Mass. Peters, a center, recovered from an attack of pneumonia this winter and went on to play brilliant hockey alternating between center and defense.
While on the subject of hockey it might be interesting to note those alumni players who returned to Hanover on March 14 for the traditional contest with the varsity. They are as follows: Dick MacMahon '52, Soup Campbell '41, George Pulliam '45, the three Riley brothers, Jack '44, Bill '46 and Joe '49, Hank Waters '52, Walt Crowley '50, Bruce Mather '47, Dick Rondeau '44, Paul Guibord '36, Dan Sullivan '40, Spif Kerrivan '50, Joe Scully '52, Jim Gregg 'go and Bruce Cunliffe '47. Eddie Jeremiah '30, stellar defenseman for the alumni aggregation, was, of course, already on the scene. Included in the above group were seven former Dartmouth hockey captains and seven players invited to Olympic teams.
The Dartmouth football team was feted on Thursday evening, March 12, with a steak dinner at the Hovey Grill through the generosity of certain members of the Class of 1923. President Dickey, Bill McCarter, Pete Reich, the outgoing captain, and Bayard Johnson, 1953 captain, all spoke briefly, while entertainment was provided by the übiquitous Doc Fielding '43. Arthur R. Young '47, former Dartmouth football captain and line coach at both Dartmouth and Amherst, was appointed to Jordan Olivar's staff at Yale University, it was announced last month. Young will be a freshman line coach at Yale and succeeds Bill Dudley in that post.
