FOOTBALL FACTS
Here's a rundown of some of the facts and figures of the 1972 football season:
Quarterback Steve Stetson set a Dartmouth single season pass-yardage record (1159 yards), breaking the mark of 1079 set by Mickey Beard in 1966.
He completed 72 of 139 passes, 10 for touchdowns and ranks sixth among Dartmouth's all-time passing leaders.
Halfback Rick Klupchak repeated as the rushing leader. He had 750 yards this season and averaged 6.6 yards per carry. In two seasons, he has 1388 yards, well within range (barring injury) of Crouthamel's career record of 1763 yards.
The top receivers were Tyrone Byrd, Chuck Thomas, and Gregg Brown. Byrd caught 19 for 339 yards and three touchdowns, Thomas added 1 3 for 294 yards and three TDs, and Brown had 18 for 260 yards and two TDs.
The scoring leader, as in 1971, was kicker Ted Perry who hit 30 of 32 conversions and eight of 13 field goals for -54 points. The point total is a Dartmouth season record for scoring by kicking (one more than Pete Donovan's mark set in 1969).
Perry also set field goal records for one game (three at Harvard), season (eight), and career (he has 14 with another year to play).
Dartmouth became the fourth team in Ivy League history to put eight men on the Coaches' All-Ivy League team. Five offensive players—Stetson, Klupchak, Brown, center Bob Funk, and guard Bob Norton—shared the honor with three defenders—end Tom Csatari, tackle Tom Tarazevits, and Wesley pugh, the safety.
Norton, the co-captain from Danbury, Conn., ranks as the most honored member of this team. Picked to play in the North-South Shrine Game in the Orange Bowl at Miami, Fla., on Christmas Day, Norton won the following recognition: Associated Press All-America honorable mention; AP's All-East and All-Ivy teams as well as the Coaches' All-Ivy; United Press International's All-New England team.
Csatari, a two-time All-Ivy first team pick, and another junior, guard Herb Hopkins, are the co-captains of the 1973 team. Csatari is from South River, N. J., while Hopkins is from Southampton, Pa.
