Coach Eddie Jeremiah has also found that it pays to juggle the lineup occasionally. For the opening Winter Carnival game against Boston College, Jerry switched Mike Hollern from a first-line center post to a second-line wing position, chiefly to allow Hollern more opportunity for shooting. Mike scored four goals, three in the first period, to lead Dartmouth to a 6-3 win over B.C. However, no amount of switching would have been adequate for the next two games as the Big Green skaters were outclassed by Harvard, 7-1, and Yale, 7-3, before they could regain their form and edge Brown, 4-2, and Army, 3-2. Over all the Indians have won ten and lost five, while in league play they have two victories against three defeats and are in third place behind Harvard and Yale.
Captain Dave Chapin, who has been a standout in February action, sparked the Indians in their 4-2 victory over Brown and then collected the first goal against West Point. Army got its second goali early in the third period and then Dart mouth tied the game when left wing John Lanigan scored and, with six minutes remaining, defenseman Don Thomas fired home the winning goal. First-team goalie Tom Wahman was injured in an exhibition game against the U. S. Nationals, but his replacement, Dirk Frankenberg, a junior, has done a marvelous job in the nets, and his play and some outstanding defensive work have been major factors in the recent wins over Brown and Army.
Rod Anderson, John Lanigan and Captain Dave Chapin lead the scoring column, averaging about a point per game, while Mike Hollern's splurge against B. C. puts him up near the leaders.
With seven more games remaining, ineluding league battles with Brown, Harvard and Princeton, it is clear that Dartmouth's hockey team will wind up with its best season in recent years. But chances for anything better than third place in the Ivy League race seem pretty slim.
