GREEN JOTTINGS

More captains for the 1964-65 winter season have been named. Heading the list of those recently announced was Dick Durrance of Aspen, Colo., who will lead next year's Indian ski team. He is the son of the Dartmouth skiing star of the '30's who won seventeen national titles and was the first American to finish in the top ten in Olympic Alpine skiing.

Young Richard is a junior art major, President of Green Key, President-elect of Casque and Gauntlet senior honor society, and active in many other student organizations. On the slopes, he has also made a name for himself, winning Skimeister in three meets during the past winter including the Eastern Championships. He is described by Coach Al Merrill as having the same enthusiasm as his father. His father was co-captain of the 1939 ski team.

Richard Beams, a 21-year-old junior from Summit, N. J., was elected captain of the 1964-65 squash team. He is a premedical student with a variety of interests. He was a fullback on the Big Green eleven last fall, he is also an accomplished pianist and skier. Coach Wayne Van Voorhees says that Beams has excellent speed despite his size (5-11, 190 pounds) and should improve his overall play.

Butterfly swimmer Tom Hoober of Lancaster, Penna., will lead the 1964-65 swimming team. He will be the first junior so honored in Coach Karl Michael's 25 years here. Tom broke into varsity competition with a bang this winter as he took eight firsts and six seconds.

And finally turning to spring sports we find an unusual brother-captain combination. Francis Ota of Torrance, Calif., has been elected captain of the freshman baseball team. The freshman third baseman is the brother of Henry Ota, a senior, and captain of the varsity nine.

During the past month the varsity basketball and hockey schedules for next winter were announced. The hoopsters will meet 24 opponents including the University of Dayton on Dec. 30 and the University of Kentucky on Jan. 2 as highlights of a Christmas vacation trip.

The hockey team will take part in its first tournament in recent years when it travels to Buffalo, N. Y. for the Nichols School Tournament. Other teams entered include Yale, Princeton, and Williams. The dates of the tourney are Jan. 1-2.

American baseball players are making their mark in the big leagues of Japan. The Hanshin Tigers are said to be pleased with their new southpaw pitcher Peter W. Burnside '52, formerly of the Washington Senators. In his debut he beat the Yomiuri Giants, traditional rivals of the Tigers. One Japanese newspaper is quoted to have said that the Tigers now have the "most learned player" in Japanese big league baseball: Burnside "from the famous college of Dartmouth."
