The freshman teams have been doing better than their older brothers. The '57 baseball team, under Coach Eddie Jeremiah, has won three games, defeating Kimball Union, New Hampshire and Lyndon Teachers. The frosh lacrosse team, under Coach Karl Michael, has gone undefeated, winning over Mt. Hermon, Kimball Union, Nichols Junior, and Harvard. Tom Keane's frosh golf squad, however, is not doing so well as the varsity, having lost to Yale, Harvard and Andover, but winning over Connecticut, Springfield High School and Nichols Junior College. The '57 tennis team lost to Exeter and was rained out against Harvard, while the track squad defeated Boston University and Holy Cross in a triangular meet, then made clean sweeps over Andover, Brown and New Hampshire.
The skiing season wound up officially with the Harvard-Dartmouth slalom and Inter-Class races at Mt. Washington on April 18. Nearly sixty skiers competed in the difficult slalom race which was won by Brooks Dodge in a time of 34.6. Harvard, however, bunched enough men to win the team victory with 864 points against 1049.4 for the Indians. In the interclass races, Egil Stigum, Tony Carleton, Steve Halligan and Preston Saunders put together the best runs to win for the Class of 1956 followed by the Class of 1957.
Before a large Green Key Weekend crowd, the Dartmouth rugby team, which tied with Yale for the championship at Bermuda during spring vacation, lost to a visiting Bermuda Athletic Association team 3-0. Composed largely of members of the Dartmouth varsity and freshman football teams, the Indian squad found the going rough and had one player, freshman Tommy Hall, knocked unconscious. With less than five minutes to go in the first period, the Bermuda team kicked the only goal of the day. It's a rough sport, but there are those who love it.
