"Consistency is Bill Dinneen's biggest advantage," said Carl Wallin, the hulking coach of Dartmouth's weightmen. Dinneen, the 260-pound hammer thrower from Washington, D. C., is on the brink of his first 200-foot throw. The interesting factor, though, is that Dinneen hasn't thrown under 190 feet in two seasons.

"Some people get off one great throw, then are way off," said Wallin. "Bill always throws well."

His best to date came at the right time this spring—at the Heptagonal Meet in Philadelphia where he uncorked a throw of 198 feet, 8 inches, to win the event.

Dinneen's efforts have been the highlight of the field season for the Indians who posted a 4-4 dual meet record. He was unbeaten in dual competition and looks like a good bet to improve his position in the NCAA meet, where he was fifth last year.

Dartmouth's other top performer at the Heps was high jumper George Leach who produced a career best of 6 feet, 8 inches but had to take second place in a jump off.

Among the runners, sophomore Larry Krol turned in the fastest time by a Dartmouth miler since Tom Laris nearly a decade ago when he toured Memorial Field's cinders in 4:14.9 against Springfield. Krol also has moved to the fore in the 880 for the Indians while his friend from hometown Clinton, N. Y., Eric Potter, has been top man in the two mile.

Hurdler Scott Yeager, who set a Dartmouth record against Springfield with a time of 54.4 seconds in the 440 hurdles, has been another consistent performer this spring.
