All term, we have been selecting topics for this column that we hope appealed to casual sports lovers, sports fanatics and people who only witness sports as they flip through television channels. While professional sports and varsity athletics take the spotlight most of the time, this article goes out to all the gym rats out there.

This, faithful readers, will be our last battlefield update of the fall season. For those of you who have stuck it out with us thus far, only to have your hearts broken as the good guys (our story, so we are the good guys) drop so many (sort of) close ones, we appreciate your love and support.

Football team to face Brown in R.I.

|

The football team seeks to keep its slim Ivy League title hopes alive with an away victory over Brown University on Saturday in Providence, R.I. A win over Brown (5-3, 2-3 Ivy) this weekend and losses by Harvard University and Princeton University against Yale University would set up a showdown in two weeks where Dartmouth (4-4, 3-2 Ivy) could earn a share of the title against the Tigers.

Pulse of the Sports World

As the college basketball season gets underway, there is little doubt that fans across the Ivy League are contemplating what Harvard University’s stunning NCAA tournament win last year might mean for the program. In the first round, the 14th-seeded Crimson upset third-seeded University of New Mexico, shocking the nation and busting many brackets. Harvard’s win was an indicator to many that an Ivy League team can indeed compete at the highest level of Division I basketball.

On Nov. 3, the Detroit Tigers’ president and general manager Dave Dombrowski named Brad Ausmus ’91 the team’s manager. Ausmus agreed to a three-year deal with a club option for 2017, replacing Jim Leyland who had held the reins since 2006 and retired after his team lost in the ALCS to the Boston Red Sox this season.

Who decides whether an activity meets the criteria to be called a sport or if it’s fated to be designated as a hobby? ESPN devotes hours of afternoon programming almost every day to poker. Is poker really a sport? One of the most popularly debated “sports” is cheerleading. Dartmouth recognizes competitive cheerleading, but it continues to get a bad rap.
