Green Jottings
Baseball coach Bob Shawkey is getting some help from Red Rolfe, director of athletics, on a fall baseball program. Believing that the short spring season does not give college ball players enough time to play, Red has in mind a fall program of daily practices, and would meet with the varsity candidates during the absence of Shawkey, who comes to Hanover only for the spring season. "I'd like to get the students thinking more about baseball," says Red, the former Yankee star and Detroit manager, "and I also hope that we can get a line on the sophomores in the fall and make it easier for Bob Shawkey when he takes over."
Skiing apparently is never out of season. Two of Dartmouth's aces - U. S. Olympic skier Tom Corcoran and Japan's Olympic star, Chick Igaya - spent the summer months on the South American circuit. Igaya won the Chilean National Giant Slalom, with Corcoran third, and the following day Corcoran annexed the special slalom in the Chilean championships with Igaya just behind.
Gus Broberg '41, former Dartmouth basketball and baseball star, has been elected to the Helms Foundation Basketball Hall of Fame. Broberg is one of 24 college players now in the Basketball Hall of Fame. He won All-American honors in basketball at Dartmouth, was team captain in 1940-41 and led the Eastern Intercollegiate Basketball League in scoring during his three years of varsity play.
The Dartmouth 150-pound crew, captained by Hart Perry '55, did extremely well at the Royal Henley Regatta in England the end of June. The Indian rowers defeated a Royal Air Force crew and the Crowland Rowing Club of England to move into the quarter-final round where they lost out by a narrow margin to the M.I.T. crew which went on to win the regatta trophy. A four-man Dartmouth crew was eliminated in the opening round of the Wyford Challenge Cup competition

by the British Royal Engineers Crew. Reports indicate that the Dartmouth men were warmly received in England and most of them stayed on to tour the continent.
Dartmouth's popular basketball coach Alvin "Doggie" Julian suffered a mild heart attack in Boston in August. After a few days in a hospital there, Doggie returned to Hanover and has now resumed his duties, apparently in top condition.
Bob Blackman, Dartmouth football mentor, ranks third among the nation's active football coaches on a winning percentage basis. During six seasons of college coaching Blackman's teams have won 46, lost 12 and tied five for a .793 percentage. Blackman ranks behind Bud Wilkinson of Oklahoma (.901), Jim Tatum of Maryland (.800) and just ahead of former Dartmouth Coach Earl Blaik, now at Army (.778). Hope he keeps it up!
