HOCKEY

On March 4 the 1966-67 Dartmouth hockey season comes to a close. The final team is Brown, and the location is Davis Rink in Hanover.

That same day Eddie Jeremiah will be honored at a luncheon in Alumni Hall of Hopkins Center. This is the end of Jeremiah's 29th season, his last before retiring as Dartmouth's head coach.

Next year it will be Ab Oakes '56, freshman coach, who will head the varsity, and Grant Standbrook will move up from assistant freshman coach to replace Oakes.

Jeremiah's final season was not among his best, but the 4-win, 12-loss record at press time did have some bright spots and did provide grounds for future hope.

SQUASH and wrestling both limped into season's end with little to cheer about. John Kenfield's squash team had two victories, over M.I.T. and Trinity, against eight defeats and little prospect for winning the remaining matches against Wesleyan and McGill.

The wrestling team had failed to win a match, having lost heroically but decisively to Coast Guard, Brown, Amherst, Wesleyan, New Hampshire, and Springfield.
