Togetherness
"SOME people find it hard to understand why it doesn't matter that you don't win a cross-country race, just so long as you have five runners near the top," says Ken Weinbel. It's a team sport, not an individual race, and Dartmouth's cross-country coach has a quartet of runners in action this fall who are as tightly knit as the people who guard the identity of Deep Throat.
Running in a bunch wouldn't make much difference if the bunch ran at the tail end of the pack, but that's not so at Dartmouth this fall. The Green swept through its first five opponents with comparative ease. How closed is this corporation showed during a win over Columbia, the only team that had the best of Dartmouth in dual racing a year ago. The Lions' Paul Heck won the race on the Hanover Country Club's new 5.8-mile course in 29:21. Second place was a four-way tie at 29:45 among Dean Stephens, Rob Duncan, Barry Harwick, and Jim Cioban - all of Dartmouth.
Against Harvard, Stephens lowered Heck's course record to 29:08, a time that was 37 seconds better than his best previous effort. Duncan was 12 seconds behind in second place, and Harwick (6), Cioban (7) and Mark Jensen (9) wrapped up the 25-30 victory.
AFTER posting a 7-0-3 record in 1975 and taking the first two matches this fall, there was speculation whether Mary Corrigan's field hockey team could lose. The answer came as Yale and Radcliffe managed to edge the Green women, but those setbacks were the only blemishes at midseason. Sophomore Thayer Wendell and freshman Ellen Remsen have joined Jane Kirrstetter in providing the offensive strength, and Marge Blaisdell has continued to be an efficient goaltender.
Tennis has been added to the women's fall scenario, and Nancy Denny, a junior, and Sally Harris, a freshman, have played the top singles positions on a team that stood 4-2 with two matches remaining.
EVER get the feeling that you've seen that name before as you peruse Dartmouth's football roster? This fall, there's an abundance of familiar names. Consider:
Linebacker Kevin Young follows brother Wayne '72 as a co-captain. Defensive end Steve Cordy's brother Bob was an All-Ivy guard in 1970. Linebacker Chris Lynch's brother Bud was a defensive tackle from 1969-71, and their father, Franklin Lynch '38, was a quarterback in 1936-37. Another member of the Lynch clan, Mike, is a freshman linebacker, one of three members of the frosh squad with ties to the 1976 varsity squad.
Split end Harry Wilson's brother John is a frosh split end, while freshman linebacker Jeff Rutishauser's brother Don is a varsity defensive end. Probably the most famous name is kicker John Gogolak, whose brothers Charlie and Pete made their marks at Princeton and Cornell during the mid-60s.
