FRESHMAN ROUNDUP

The Big Green's freshman hockey team came through in good fashion with a 12-9 record that included a string of seven wins in a row. Leading the attack for the Little Indians was center Mike Turner who scored 64 points, including 22 goals. Turner's value to the team was conspicuous as he missed the final two games with a broken rib and the Green attack sputtered. Andy Sormunen, a wing on Turner's line, had 50 points on 27 goals and 23 assists, and the third man on that high-scoring combination was Captain Steve Arndt who had 19 goals and 27 assists for 46 points.

Defenseman Don Anderson was fourth in scoring with 33 points and the freshman goalie, Dale Dunning, will be a strong challenger for the varsity's Tom Schuster next winter.

Paul Erland, a 6-5 forward, led the freshman basketball team with an 18.6point scoring average, collecting 334 points in 18 games as the Little Indians finished 9-9. Erland also averaged 10.6 rebounds per game. The Green frosh reached the 100-point mark four times this season, including a 123-83 victory over the Yale freshmen. Three losses were in overtime and the finale, a 106-100 setback to the Harvard freshmen, was a tough blow as Erland scored 34 points and had 23 rebounds. Guards John VanKurin and Ed Wisneski plus center Jim Masker joined Erland in averaging double figures for the Little Indians.

Captain Jim Gottschalk was the outstanding freshman swimmer. The Bedford, Ohio, standout has battled with the varsity's Al Petersen for the College individual medley record and is a proven performer in six events. The freshmen ended with a 7-3 record and the team's competitive spirit was demonstrated in a 52-43 victory over Williston Academy as Dartmouth swimmers came up with "best times ever" in 18 of 24 entries.

The freshman track team finished with a fine 5-2 record. Ted Moody and Paul Pullen excelled in the weight events. Moody set a freshman record in the shot put and Pullen teamed with Ken Hohenstein to share first place in the 35-pound weight throw in every meet. Pullen won four times and Hohenstein three. Bruce Andrews, the captain, came through in the long jump and dashes as well as the mile-relay for the Indian frosh, while distance star Eric Potter's 9:18 time in the two-mile run against Brown's freshmen was just off the record of 9:17.1 held by Olympian Tom Laris '62.

A disappointing lack of manpower cost the varsity wrestling team a chance for success this winter but the Dartmouth freshmen produced a fine 6-3 record. Leading the '72s was Bill Miller who was undefeated in nine matches and pinned six opponents in the 152- and 160-pound divisions. Scott Snyder compiled a 7-1 record at 191 pounds and heavyweight Dick Pritchard finished with a 7-1-1 record.
