With Big Green Teams

WITH just about three weeks of competition remaining for Dartmouth winter teams, the results to date are, except for swimming and skiing, only average. The basketball team now has an overall record of twelve wins and seven defeats and its 4-4 league record puts it fifth in the league standings. In hockey, the record shows nine wins against eleven defeats with two wins and three losses in Pentagonal League competition, which barely gets the Indians out of the cellar into fourth place. The track team has dropped all three dual meets to date, while squash has three wins and three defeats.

Swimming and skiing present a brighter picture. The Dartmouth swimmers have won six meets and lost only to league-leading Yale, while the Dartmouth skiers have swept to triumphs in the Dartmouth, Williams and Norwich winter carnival meets.

Certainly one of the outstanding happenings during the past month has been the record-breaking performances of Dartmouth freestyle swimming ace John Glover. The 22-year-old junior from Larchmont, N.Y., has broken eight assorted records and bids fare to become one of the greatest, if not the greatest, swimmer that Dartmouth has produced. A summary of Glover's accomplishments will be found elsewhere in this Section. His performances have provided one of the few bright spots in an otherwise placid winter.
