Winter Sports

In retrospect, it was a rather normal winter season at Dartmouth. Some teams, notably basketball and swimming, were strong while others like hockey, track and squash were somewhat weaker than usual. For the statistically minded the wins and losses by sports are herewith recorded. On the varsity level: basketball 18-7, hockey 10-11, track 1-3, squash 2-6 and swimming 7-3. Varsity totals: 38 wins, 30 defeats. Freshman teams: basketball 8-2, hockey 11-3, squash 1-3, track 2-2, swimming 6-1. Freshman totals: 28 wins, 11 defeats. Combined totals for Dartmouth winter teams are 66 wins against 41 defeats. The DOC-sponsored ski team, the rifle team, wrestling team and newly formed gymnastics team do not enter into these totals for obvious reasons, but their contributions to the overall sports program at Dartmouth must not be forgotten.
