With Big Green teams

DESPITE an occasional spring rain which cancelled several contests, the Big Green teams have had a busy five weeks from mid-April through the weekend of May 19. Only one full week of contests remains before the Dartmouth players put away their equipment and switch their fighting spirit to comprehensive and final examinations.

Overall, it has been a most successful spring season, one that has kept pace with the fine results achieved by Dartmouth's fall and winter teams and has helped make 1957-58 one of the brightest years in Dartmouth sports.

The Big Green's crack baseball squad looked more impressive than any baseball team of recent years as it chalked up thirteen wins against only three defeats. Two losses, however, came in league play and cost the Indians the title. Both the golf and tennis teams also turned in impressive performances, with the golf team winning eleven of fifteen matches and the tennis players also posting the same record. The lacrosse team, hampered by late practice and plagued by injuries, had a rough time, winning two against four losses. The track team split even in dual competition, winning one and losing one, but finished a disappointing tenth in the Heptagonals. Varsity totals show 37 victories against only sixteen losses.

The Class of '61 spring teams showed up well, to give promise of things to come. The freshman baseball team went unde-feated in seven games, with the golf team repeating this performance in five matches and the track team in four dual meets. The tennis team had one win against two defeats, while the lacrosse team posted one victory against two defeats. Freshman results total eighteen victories against five defeats. Combined varsity-freshman totals for all teams give the Big Green a 55-21 edge in the won-lost column.

Baseball coach Tony Lupien with Pitcher Art Quirk '59 of Narragansett, R. I., whose record of eight wins and one loss has been a big factor in the baseball team's successful season.
