LACROSSE
Things looked little better on the lacrosse score cards this spring: a three-win, six-loss record at press time, although an 11-8 win over the University of New Hampshire did give the Green the state lacrosse championship.
After losses to Brown, Yale, Massachusetts, Harvard, and Princeton, the Dartmouth team was hungry for a win. The hunger gave Dartmouth the steam to score its first goal only 36 seconds after the UNH game began, and the afternoon's activity enabled Dartmouth to look its best of the season.
Coach Whitey Burnham was extremely pleased with the way the team finally shaped up, and he felt he had good reason to look forward with hope to next year.
Other teams were wrapping up seasons of varying success. The golfers had an even-stephen 6-6 record in the stretch. The Corinthian Yacht Club had finished a close third in the Dartmouth Bowl competition sailing out of the Tufts Yacht Club in early May. The Green had a good chance for first-place honors right along, but bowed eventually to Harvard and Coast Guard Academy, respectively.
Dartmouth crew was preparing for the June 17 Intercollegiate Rowing Association Regatta on Onondaga Lake at Syracuse. A late spring and a lack of experience has hampered Dartmouth crews throughout the season, but the Green spirit was concentrated still on achieving honors at the 65th annual regatta, in which crews from sixteen colleges and universities are expected to compete.
BIG GREEN BITS... Four Dartmouth varsity swimmers have been named to the 1967 All-America Swim Team. The four, which made up Coach Karl Michael's 400-yard relay team, are Tony Dalrymple, senior captain from Goffstown, N. H.; Morgan Allsup from Bloomington, Ill., and Terry Robinson from Rye, N. Y., both sophomores, and Brad Lindeblad from Hollywood, Fla. Lindeblad is a junior and captain-elect of the Green team.
Two senior athletes, Mickey Beard and Bill Calhoun, were awarded honors this month for their Dartmouth playing careers. Beard, who is from Newton, Mass., received the Alfred E. Watson Trophy as the most outstanding athlete during the year, and Calhoun was awarded the Kenneth B. Archibald Athletic Prize from The Dartmouth for achievements in both athletics and scholarship.
Both men were standouts on the football team. Beard also is a mainstay of the Dartmouth baseball team, and Calhoun has led the Indian lacrosse defense.
There will be two new faces on the Dartmouth athletic staff next fall. Roger Penland, a University of North Carolina graduate who has been varsity basketball coach at the Kingswood School, West Hartford, Conn., will become assistant varsity basketball coach.
Fred Kelley, head trainer and baseball coach at Virginia Military Institute, will join the Green staff as head athletic trainer.
Bob Blackman, varsity football coach, will participate June 11-14 at the annual University of Oregon Football Coaches Clinic at Eugene. Blackman is one of the most sought-after football clinicians in the nation.
