Green Jottings
All-American swimming selections and ranking were announced last month by the College Swimming Coaches Association of America and Dartmouth was well represented. Captain John Glover was ranked first in the 100-yard freestyle event, second in the 50-yard freestyle, and tenth in the 150-yard individual medley. The Big Green 400-yard freestyle relay team of Glover, Creighton Hart, Dick Karslake and Duke Hust won sixth place. This is the third year Glover has won All-American recognition.
Dartmouth team captains in spring sports for next year were also announced

in mid-June as follows: George F. Becker of Blue Point, N. Y., hard-hitting shortstop, as baseball captain; another New Yorker, Frederick Oman of Hastings-on-Hudson, as Dartmouth's golf captain; David L. Kerr of Montclair, N. J., a dependable veteran, as 1956 tennis captain; Ernest L. Metzger 3rd of Baltimore, Md., one of Dartmouth's top pole vaulters, as track captain; and Clement B.

Recently published Dunkel ratings, regarded as tops in basketball, put the 1954-55 Dartmouth basketball team 69th in the nation and rated the Big Green first in the Ivy League despite Dartmouth's official fourth-place standing. Next winter's finish should be better and that Ivy rating could be a prediction of things to come.
Dartmouth's tennis hopes are looking up. Young Dick Hoehn, son of tennis and squash coach Red Hoehn, captained the Phillips Exeter Academy tennis team to a banner season this spring and climaxed it by annexing the Eastern New England Interscholastic Singles Championship and teaming up with another player to take the doubles title as well. Dick will go on tour this summer with his dad and brother Ted before entering - you guessed it - Dartmouth next fall.
Carl F. Frandsen '57 was the 1955 recipient of the Charles Quincy Tirrell Cup, awarded annually to "that sophomore who has made the most satisfactory progress during his first two years in college, considering qualities of sportsmanship, leadership and academic performance."
And so another year comes to a close at Dartmouth. See you next fall - October 1, to be precise — when we embark on what could be the best year for Dartmouth sports since World War II. Have a wonderful summer!
