WITH THE BIG GREEN TEAMS

IN mid-June the DCAC announced the awarding of varsity letters to 112 athletes in eight spring sports, and it is of interest that about one-fourth of all Dartmouth students win freshman numerals or a varsity letter in one or more sports each year.

Five spring-sport captains were elected in June to serve next year. They are: Carl Jaeger, a veteran outfielder, in baseball; T. Kent Graham, a two-year veteran, in golf; John Walters, a league-leading scorer, in lacrosse; James Biggs, a two-year varsity star, in tennis; and miler K. Nicholas Jennison in track.

Three freshman captains elected at the same time were Michael Bloom of Toms River, N. J., in baseball; Richard Leukart of Shaker Heights, Ohio, in golf; and Edward Miller of Poughkeepsie, N. Y., in tennis.

In the annual IRA Regatta held the third weekend of June on Lake Onondaga the Dartmouth varsity crew finished eleventh in a field of thirteen as they edged out Rutgers and Columbia. It was a disappointing finish to a season which has not been spectacular, but Coach Pete Gardner feels the Big Green oarsmen rowed well while admitting that they had probably reached their peak a day or two before the big race.

Construction crews have started work on Dartmouth's new field house, and summer visitors will have an interesting time watching this building go up. The new cage has been re-sited so that the varsity baseball diamond will not have to be torn up as originally reported.

And with summer here, can fall be far behind? The answer, of course, is no — particularly for the Dartmouth football coaching staff who will greet their 75-man squad early in September and settle down to a four-week training camp prior to the September 30 opener with New Hampshire.
