GREEN JOTTINGS

While he wasn't skiing for Dartmouth last winter. Tim Caldwell '76 clearly has established himself as one of the nation's best cross-country racers. Caldwell won the national and North American 15-kilometer title and capped a superb display of racing in international competition (that included great efforts in Leningrad and Finland) by placing second in the famed Holmenkollen in Norway. He was a member of the U.S. Olympic team a year ago.

While on skiing, Don Nielsen from New London, N.H., and Rick Thirlby from Traverse City, Mich., are Dartmouth's ski leaders for 1973-74. They succeed crosscountry racer Erik Jebsen from Oslo, Norway.

Jebsen won the Robert J. Gebhard Trophy for dedication to Dartmouth skiing, while sophomore Doug Peterson, a cross-country leader for the Green, won the Norwegian Trophy as Dartmouth's outstanding skier in 1973.

Peter Anderson won the Donald J. Cook Award as the top freshman skier.

Chuck Estin from Boulder, Colo., and Jon Rabinowitz from Englewood, N.H., are Dartmouth's 1973-74 wrestling cocaptains. Both are juniors and succeed Steve Morelli from Tulsa, Okla. Estin already holds virtually every Dartmouth wrestling record, posting a 35-3 record through two seasons and pinning 29 opponents in the process. He was 17-1 in the 177-pound division last winter. Rabinowitz is a 190-pounder who was 9-1 last season.

All-Ivy guard James Brown, picked on all-opponent teams by three Dartmouth foes last season, was also tapped for the Hall of Fame all-star game that pits New England's top players in an annual benefit for the nation's basketball shrine.

For the past four years, Dartmouth has won or shared the Ivy League football title but the league's sports information directors have tapped Yale as the team that will unseat the Green in 1973.

In their annual poll, the Ivy SIDs gave Yale four first place votes, three to Pennsylvania and one to Dartmouth. The SIDs predicted a tight four-team race that looks ike this: Yale 43; Pennsylvania 41; Dartmouth 39; Cornell 37; Harvard 29; Princeton 17; Brown 13; Columbia 9.
