Welcome back, faithful followers of Knapptime. To kick off this fall, we will take a closer look into a sport which, admittedly, I once referred to as "whistle ball" due to the number of times the referee stopped play. That, however, was four years ago. And just as the Dartmouth women's field hockey team puts my small high school's team to shame, so, too, do the women of the team. Well, two of them, at least. The brave duo of Ashley Hines '09 and Kristen McCormick '09 proved themselves worthy of Knapptime fame. Either that, or they live across the hall from me in New Hamp. Whatever the case may be, Hines and McCormick are not just stellar athletes, but also classy and entertaining young women.

Donaghy officiated a combined 151 games over this time period, including 20 playoff games. Stern reported that to his knowledge, this is an isolated case, and no other league officials were involved. Stern called it the worst situation that he has ever been in during his 30-year career in basketball.

For this column's purpose, however, I chose to gloss over her success in her sport and instead tried to get her to call out her teammates. I felt that this method would work well, especially because most readers would not especially appreciate Anne and I discussing the fine points of crew.

The D: How did you first get into pole vaulting?

To start off the doubles portion of the match, Waslen and McGaughey finished off their doubles careers on a high note, defeating the Crimson's lead duo of Ashwin Kumar and Sasha Ermakov convincingly, 8-4. Unfortunately for the Big Green (16-10, 1-6 Ivy), the team would drop the final two doubles matches to Harvard and fail to score the point.

Not all sports played on ice involve 200-pound men skating as fast as they can against each other while holding sticks. In fact, the world of figure skating is one of intense technique, precision, beauty and sparkly dresses. Hours of practice are put into just a two-minute program, which is then mercilessly judged by an old lady who has probably lost her ability to smile because of years spent scowling. In any event, this sport has been under appreciated on our campus. After winning its fourth straight national championship this season, the figure skating team's dominance has not been approached by any Dartmouth team in recent memory. For this reason, I have decided to delve into the mind of figure skater Hallie Damon '08 and figure out what makes her tick. My money is on the sparkly dress.

When the weather warms up each spring, throwing a Frisbee around on the Green seems like the thing to do. The stereotypical hurler is pot-smoking, unwashed and dreadlocked. There are some frisbee-ers, however, who break the mold. They are ultimate frisbee players, and they treat frisbee as a competitive activity rather than a casual pastime. This week, I sat down with ultimate player Rembert Browne II '09. Since ultimate frisbee is a club sport, this week's Knapptime we will venture into the life of the non-varsity athlete. Prepare yourself, for the journey is not an easy one. You're moving into a land of both shadow and substance, of things and ideas. You've just crossed over into... the Frisbee Zone.

Everybody knows how hard it can be adjusting to college life. Imagine what it would be like having to set aside a few hours every day to practice a sport upon first arriving on campus. Such was the transition that tennis players Mary Beth Winingham '10 and Jessica Adler '10 had to make this past year. I recently had the pleasure of sitting down with the two freshmen to discuss everything from fashion to team dynamics and personal history.

The Dartmouth men's tennis team lost consecutive away matches this past weekend. On Friday, Dartmouth was shut out by the Princeton Tigers, and only narrowly avoided another shutout against the University of Pennsylvania on Saturday. The unsuccessful road trip all but ended the Big Green's chance for an Ivy League title. Penn is still undefeated in Ivy League play.

It may be hard to believe with the snow on the ground, but it's springtime in Hanover. Every year during this season, one of our nation's oldest sporting traditions is renewed. All over the county, people gather together to hit balls with sticks. These players are split up into two main categories: players who throw and players who hit. The players who hit also play positions in the field. These fielding positions can have funny nicknames, like "the hot corner" (third base) and "the place where they put the kid that can't throw" (right field).

Daisy Freund '08 is the co-captain of the Dartmouth equestrian team. She leads her squad, comprised of both humans and horses, through various competitions that require skill, grace and constant attention to detail. Generally, most people would not put their trust in a non-human teammate to ensure victory, but this is exactly what Dartmouth's riders do week in and week out. Although some may not consider this sport as residing within the realm of better-known Big Green programs like football and hockey, equestrian is a full-time co-ed varsity sport that practices out of nearby Morton Farm. Last weekend, Freund and the rest of the Big Green riders grabbed the Intercollegiate Horse Show Association regional championship. Freund sat down with The Dartmouth to talk riding, ponies and hip new music.

The Dartmouth men's basketball team split two games of a home stand this weekend. After beating Brown 56-52 on Friday night, the Big Green dropped Saturday night's contest to Yale by a score of 71-64.
