Jennie Post / The Dartmouth Staff If you asked Dartmouth students to name the most successful athletic teams at the College, chances are good that not too many people would say the women's ultimate Frisbee team.

The NBA has long been an image-conscious entity, striving for mass acceptance. Starting in the 1980s with Magic and Bird, then with Jordan in the late 1990s, the league achieved record popularity.
In this week's column, Hodes and I decided to take a closer look at the increasingly stringent nature of the NFL and NBA conduct policies, and decide which of the two was getting more out of hand.
This summer, the Dartmouth rowing program will host the men's national under-23 training and selection camp.

Asafu Suzuki / The Dartmouth Staff As evidenced by the high readership of "The Dartmouth Independent's" article on fraternity ratings by "Sweet '09 Frat Dude," everybody loves to stereotype fraternities, and a major component of fraternity stereotypes is the perceived athletic affiliations at each house.

Courtesy of John Storck Whether it's the Ivy League's lack of athletic scholarships or the cold of Hanover winter that scares most elite athletes away, few Dartmouth athletes are considered to be among the very best in the country. Brothers Erik Storck '07 and John Storck have progressed far enough in the sport of sailing to be considered for the United States' Olympic team.
Mike Knapp '09 of The Dartmouth recently caught up with pole vaulter and UGA all-star Lilly Bertz '07 for an exclusive one-on-one experience.
You might think in light of Phil Mickelson's PGA Player's Championship victory this past weekend at TPC Sawgrass in Jacksonville, Fla., that WOE would begin this week with an apology to Phil and perhaps even congratulations for winning golf's "fifth" major.
Jennie Post / The Dartmouth Staff The good weather over the weekend brought out the best in the Dartmouth track and field squads, as the men's team took second place and the women's team finished third at the New England Track and Field Championships, held from Thursday to Saturday, at Memorial Field in Hanover. On the men's side, the University of Rhode Island distanced itself from the 36-team field, winning the overall team event with 155.5 points to capture the New England outdoor title for the fifth consecutive year. The Big Green men garnered 111.75 points, marking the third year in a row that they have finished in second place behind URI. The women finished with 98.5 points for third place out of 33 teams, but were only 4.5 points behind runner-up Boston College and 9.5 points behind the champions, Williams. "Just about everyone who competed achieved personal records, which was a great way to finish the season," Natalie Todd-Zebell '09 said.

The recent naming of Reggie Williams '76 among this year's inductees to the College Football Hall of Fame brings back an era that is far from the minds of today's undergrads.
Courtesy of Camden Place The Dartmouth varsity lightweight crew team continued to prove to the rowing world that it is a squad to be reckoned with, as the Big Green won the Eastern Association of Rowing Colleges Sprints on Sunday, May 13, at Lake Quinsigamond in Worcester, Mass., after a very tight grand final.
With Green Key Weekend approaching, Schmidley and I decided to tackle our most difficult debate yet: pong or beirut?
In the spirit of Green Key, Hodes and I decided to switch things up this week, and have a good ol' fashioned drinking game argument.
Courtesy of Reggie Williams The Town Green, a rectangular plot of land carpeted by green grass, lies in the heart of Walt Disney World's Wide World of Sports Complex in Orlando, Fla., a 220-acre multi-sport complex that opened in 1997 and houses facilities for more than 30 sports. However, few know that the Green, the center of Dartmouth, was the inspiration for the Disney World attraction. It is just one way that Reggie Williams '76, the visionary who oversaw the creation of the sports complex, has applied his Dartmouth experiences to life after Dartmouth. "[The complex] has more than a passing nostalgic reference to the Dartmouth College campus," said Williams, the Vice President of Disney Sports Attractions. It was announced on Wednesday, May 9, at the Waldorf-Astoria in New York City that Williams, a former three-time first-team All-Ivy selection and a first-team All-American linebacker, is one of 12 players and two coaches who will be inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame's Class of 2007 in December. He is the 13th member from the Dartmouth community to be elected to college football's most prestigious shrine. "It is a tremendous honor to represent Dartmouth and the Ivy League," said Williams, one of Dartmouth's greatest football players who went on to enjoy a 14-year professional football career with the Cincinnati Bengals.
