Although the advent of coeducation in the fall of 1972 would change Dartmouth forever, its actual beginning was relatively anti-climatic.

Although the advent of coeducation in the fall of 1972 would change Dartmouth forever, its actual beginning was relatively anti-climatic.
When Judy Oberting '91 arrived in Hanover in the fall of 1987 to play ice hockey and lacrosse for the Big Green, things were a little different for female athletes than they are today.
Don't look now, but the Dartmouth baseball team has quietly heated up.
As the sun set and the shadow of the Memorial Field bleachers crept over the Red Rolfe Field diamond, the Dartmouth baseball team saw a good opportunity to beat a tough Vermont team creep away as well. Despite leading 7-2 after five and loading the bases in the bottom of the ninth, the Big Green fell 9-8 to the Catamounts to drop to 9-12 (1-3 Ivy) on the season in its home-opener.
Today was supposed to be the day that the 7-7 Big Green baseball team had its home-opener against Siena, but Mother Nature had other plans. Because of "unplayable conditions" at Red Rolfe Field, the double-header will be played in Siena instead, with Dartmouth as the home team.
Winter Carnival is one of the biggest weekends of the term for most Dartmouth students; it is one of those special times when we are most proud and glad to be Dartmouth students.
Rivalries in pro and college sports are conceived and born in many different ways. Some are geographic (Mets-Yankees), some are based on a long history (Harvard-Yale) and some come about because both teams happen to very good at the same time (Celtics-Lakers).
One of the most impressive aspects of the Dartmouth women's hockey team this season, besides its 11-2-1 (7-1 ECAC North) record and No. 6 national ranking, is that it has had so much success without arguably its best player: Correne Bredin '02.
After losing a vital league game against a less-talented Princeton squad last Saturday, the No. 5 Dartmouth women icers spent this week trying to correct the problems that led to that momentary lapse against the Tigers.
As Greg Smith '02 was walking towards the team bus after a devastating 49-17 loss to Holy Cross during which he had broken his middle finger, the then-leading passer in the Ivy League held an impromptu press conference for the few Dartmouth reporters gathered there.
Last year, there was no question where the Dartmouth women's hockey team wanted to end up: as the last team standing. They started out the season with every single player (sans one '00 who had been injured all year anyway) back from a team that had made a scrappy, unexpected run to the Frozen Four and a third place finish. True to expectations, last year's team went 23-3-1 in the regular season, won the ECAC tournament and were the No. 1 seed and favorite of the last four teams competing for the National Championship. Everything was aligned for a National Title, the first official one in the history of Women's College Hockey, but Dartmouth dropped both games.
Dartmouth football travels to Brown on Saturday to continue the grim march toward the end that has come to characterize the last few games of every season of which the '02s have been a part. The campaign, which began with such promise and took a sharp downturn when QB Greg Smith '02 went down in week 3, is now officially lost.
In general, women's teams at Dartmouth tend to be better than their male counterparts -- but that's debatable. One thing that isn't debatable is that the women's ice hockey team is currently the best varsity program at this school. Period.
Harvard never knew what hit them. There they were, strolling along at 5-0, getting ready to face a 1-4 Dartmouth team that had been going even further downhill since its star quarterback broke his middle finger. The Crimson fully expecting to have at least as easy a game as last year's 49-7 thrashing that spoiled the Big Green's Homecoming festivities, but Harvard had another thing coming.
Well, the season has just passed its halfway point and already it has been quite a ride. After the sobering experience of the September 11 attacks, Dartmouth's first three weeks represented the headiest days the program has seen in years. From the aborted but impressive comeback against New Hampshire in Week 1 to the one-point heartbreaker the next week against Penn, people were talking with unbridled optimism about this team's potential even before the Big Green picked up its first W against Yale in Week 3.
By far the biggest game in the Ivies this weekend is Brown against Penn. The 3-2 Bears, owners of the most potent scoring offense in the league, look to even up their Ivy record (2-1) with the 3-0 Quakers' who are 5-0 overall. The key matchup in the game should be between the two big, bruising running backs: Michael Malan of Brown and Kris Ryan of Pennsylvania. Although the Quakers certainly have a better defense statistically, they have yet to face a back as accomplished as Malan combined with a quarterback as competent as Brown's standout, Kyle Rowley.
Last Saturday, in the first quarter of a 49-17 loss at Holy Cross, Dartmouth's All-American candidate quarterback, Greg Smith '02, broke the middle finger of his throwing hand to all but certainly end his spectacular season.
It's the beginning of a new era for Dartmouth football. When senior quarterback and All-American candidate Greg Smith '02 broke his middle finger in last week's 49-17 demolition at the hands of Holy Cross, the Big Green lost not only its best player, but its identity as well.
WORCESTER, Mass. -- It's the kind of thing that coaches have nightmares about.
It must be interesting to be a member of the Big Green football team these days. Coming into the season, the team was picked to vie for the Ivy League cellar as in the past three seasons, consecutive 2-8 campaigns. Now, after playing three solid games, many are optimistic that Dartmouth can contend for the Ivy crown.
