SWIMMING

A toboggan ride has turned Dartmouth's swimming season upside down.

Coach Ron Keenhold's squad is talented but admittedly thin and that became conspicuously apparent as the Indians headed into action against the Eastern League strongboys without the services of All-America freestyler Chris Carstensen.

Carstensen, the junior from Haddon- field, N.J., chose a Saturday afternoon when the Indians had a break in the schedule to take a toboggan ride with friends at the Hanover Country Club. The gang happened to take a spill and Cartensen came home with a wrenched knee. He missed meets with Princeton and Army and in both instances the Indians were trimmed.

The Princeton score was 64-49. Army won, 61-52. In both meets Keenhold had to spread his forces thin and the Indians simply didn't have enough.

While Carstensen was expected to be back for the Yale meet (the Elis, by the way, had a string of 74 dual meet victories snapped by surprising Penn) and for later meets with Cornell and Penn, it's questionable if he'll be at full strength before the Eastern championships in mid-March.

With Carstensen idle, the burden has fallen to butterfly and freestyle ace Al Rheem, medley standout Jim Gotts- chalk, sophomore sprinter Craig Colberg, and distance freestyler Steve Quigley, along with diver Bill Thor-warth.

They are all producing to capacity, but it looks like the Indians will have to wait until the Easterns to get revenge on their Eastern League rivals.
