Dartmouth football will be broadcast again this fall by the Beacon Sports Network which now includes 39 radio stations throughout New England. Ned Martin and Steve Meterparel will provide the play-by-play and color commentary.

The Big Green will also appear on television against Yale on November 2. The game will be presented only in the East as part of the NCAA-ABC football coverage.

Tom Laris '62 will represent the United States and Dartmouth in the Olympic Games this month in Mexico City. Laris becomes the 13 th Dartmouth track man since 1908 to win an Olympic berth. He defeated defending Olympic champion Billy Mills and Gerry Lindgren of Oregon to finish third in the 10,000-meter run in the Olympic trials at South Lake Tahoe, Calif., on September 9. Setting the pace were Army Pfc. Tracy Smith and Van Nelson.

Laris was an unsuccessful candidate for the 1964 Olympics in the 3,000 meter steeplechase.
