After seven matches Coach Tommy Keane's golf team is sporting a 4-3 record. The first three were all in the losing column, while the team is presently riding the crest of a four-match winning streak.
Following the 18-3 defeat to Virginia, the team was edged by Williams 5-4 and Middlebury 5½-2½. Since then the golfers have begun to click. Boston College has been downed twice 6-1 and 4-3, Army was edged 4-3, and Holy Cross was trimmed 6-1. The Army victory was a big one, for the Cadets are Eastern champions.
The top seven men include Gerry Sharon, Tom Rand, Keith Latimore, Herb Carlson, Dick Leukart, Jan Hoving, and Steve Brown. With these seven men entered in the Eastern intercollegiates, the Green finished a strong seventh.
Leukart and Latimore were among the sixteen finalists selected from a field of 92 competitors. Both were eliminated on the 18th hole when their opponents sank long birdie putts.
The Green golfers still have five matches remaining, but it looks like a winning season.
Injuries and missing men have plagued the Dartmouth heavyweight crew this spring. What was potentially a fine crew has failed to beat a single opponent as this is written.
Bob Brayton and Dan Watts were missing until the Cochrane Cup Regatta on May 11, but this did not prevent Wisconsin and M.I.T. from finishing ahead of the Green. The Indians were ten seconds behind second-place Tech.
Brayton is back at number three oar and Watts is at number six, and that's where they'll be when the Green enters the Eastern sprints at Worcester, Mass. Both competed at the Pan American Games where they made a fine showing in the pair-without-coxswain event, finishing second to Uruguay. Injuries, however, have hurt and have forced Coach Pete Gardner to shuffle his boating assignments.
In earlier races the Green oarsmen lost to Brown and Boston University, then to Syracuse, and finally to Harvard, M.I.T. and Princeton in the Compton Cup Regatta.
The lightweight crew has also had its troubles. It was second to while edging Yale. The following week it lost to both Harvard and M.I.T., then rebounded to beat Andover, but on May 11 lost to Cornell.
Spirit on the heavyweight crew is still good despite the losses and the potential power may yet show itself in either the Eastern sprints or the IRA.
The tennis team is destined to finish with a losing record. It stands 5-10 with only four matches left to play. Since mid-April the Indian netmen have won three and lost four.
Dave Smoyer is now in the number one position, backed up by Doug Floren and John Morrison in the next two spots. Sophomore Tucky Mays, who is at number five has the best singles record, 9-6. Doug Judah is now at four and Wally Lord at six.
Against Ivy League opponents, the Indians have beaten Columbia 5½-3½. and Brown 9-0, but they have bowed to Yale 8-1 and Harvard 9-0, always strong teams, and to Penn 7-2. In other matches, Dartmouth edged M.I.T. 5-4 and was beaten by Army 7-2.
The doubles have seen Floren and Morrison at number one, and Smoyer and Mays at number two. In the team's most recent match Roger Hull and Ned Miller were the third doubles combination.
Midfielder-Captain Bill King (14) gets around one Yale defender as Mike Herriott(6) maneuvers. Elis won lacrosse game 11-5 to hand Dartmouth first league defeat.
