1930

We of 1930 had our share of athletes. Though as undergraduates we never saw Dartmouth beat Yale in football, great names like Marsters and Armstrong come readily to mind. But a review of the 1930 Aegis leads to a lugubrious but medically interesting observation: that most of those who lettered in competitive sports are no longer among us. Members of the various varsities, almost without exception, have gone to their rewards.

We have at least two notable exceptions: Johnny Marsh, who played in the infield alongside big-leaguer-to-be Red Rolfe, just had his 90th in January and still plays a respectable game of golf. Can he play his age? According to an item in the Thirtyteer about John's low handicap, he can.

And then there's Ted Wolf, once of football and boxing fame, still going, going, and going, and still nationally ranked in super, super-senior tennis. In November I mentioned a big bash for Ted's 90th birthday, but I didn't mention that Betty Wolf, without Ted's knowledge but with the connivance of a grandson-in-law who is art director of a company in New York, reproduced in color the cover of Tennis magazine, with Ted's face superimposed on the body of tennis star Pete Sampras. The party guests received these as favors, and Ted was kind enough to send me a copy. Again without Ted's knowledge, I sent my copy to Hanover to see if the Alumni Magazine could use it in this issue on Dartmouth athletes. Sorry, with thanks, but they had no place for it.
