The appointment of Ulysses J. (Tony) Lupien as head baseball coach and freshman basketball coach at Dartmouth was announced this summer by Director of Athletics Red Rolfe. Lupien replaces baseball coach Bob Shawkey and freshman basketball coach Al McGuire, both of whom were serving on a part-time, seasonal basis. A Harvard graduate, Lupien captained the Crimson baseball team in 1938 and also played basketball. An outstanding first baseman, he was signed by the Boston Red Sox upon graduation and played on several farm teams before moving up with the Red Sox in 1940. In 1944 he went to Philadelphia, served during the war in the Navy, and then played two years on the Hollywood team. Lupien moved to Chicago in 1948 and then on to Detroit in 194.9, leaving major league baseball in 1950 to manage the Detroit farm team in Jamestown, N. Y. For the past five years he has been combining his manager-playing duties with coaching basketball at Middlebury College.
Most of the Dartmouth football games will start earlier this year. All home games are slated to begin at 1:30 p.m. — Eastern daylight time in September and October, Eastern standard time in November. All road games except for the Brown and Harvard games, which start at 2 p.m., will also get under way at 1:30. The move is made to comply with recommendations of the National Safety Council so spectators will get away before darkness sets in.
The CBS. radio network for the third year will broadcast an "Ivy Game of the Week" over its network. Bill Hickey will handle the play-by-play, while Dan Peterson will do the color and highlights. The Dartmouth-Holy Cross and DartmouthPrinceton games have been selected to date for CBS coverage in the East, but no announcement has been yet made on the Ivygame to go on the CBS national network. Neither has any announcement been made on Dartmouth games being carried by television.

Speaking of lacrosse, last year's captain Clem Malin was named goalie on the Laurie Cox division all-star team, while teammate Lee Gammill was selected as an all-star defenseman.
In soccer, Dartmouth front-line star, Butch Waid '57 was selected as an alternate for the United States Olympic team. Only one other college player was selected for the Olympic soccer squad.
