Greeks combat apathy at sporting events

By John Mitchell | May 6, 2005

Some members of Dartmouth sports teams often see more faces in the crowd at their Saturday night pong games than at their Saturday afternoon Division 1 athletic contests. To combat this perceived imbalance, the Greek Leadership Council, the Interfraternity Council, the Panhellenic Council and others have been working on ways to employ popular Greek events to boost attendance at games. Two members of Alpha Phi Alpha have spearheaded the crowd-boosting efforts.

Women's rugby club ramshackles Army by 50 points

By Cristina Duncan Evans | May 4, 2005

The Dartmouth women's rugby club took on Army this weekend for the second time this season. The last time the two teams met, during the first weekend of the spring season, it was an intense match-up and the sequel was more of the same. However, after some aggressive play from both squads, the Dartmouth squad emerged victorious by a whopping 50 points. Army's forwards controlled play in the first minutes of game, but soon the DWRC adjusted and began committing more forwards to contact.

DRFC survives marathon week

By Tom Monahan | May 2, 2005

The rain was hammering Sachem field Thursday afternoon as the Dartmouth B-side kicked off against the University of New Brunswick B-side. This early game resulted in a disappointing 31-0 Dartmouth loss. However as the clouds parted the sun and rugby gods seemed to smile upon the Men in Green. In the A-side match the DRFC opened with a relentless, dynamic attack that gave them a quick 17-0 lead. An early penalty kick by fullback Andrew Caspary '06 began the day for the Dartmouth offensive machine, which scored 39 points on the afternoon. Following the New Brunswick kickoff, Jarred Hyatt '06 picked up a spectacular poach that was quickly spun out to fly half Jesse Blom '06 and fed to crashing center Scott Penner '06 for the try and conversion by Caspary. The next Dartmouth score came as New Brunswick was pinned down on its own five-meter. Prop Brad "Cheese" Fierstein '06 shot up from the Dartmouth defensive line like a portly lightning bolt picking off the pass from the UNB flyhalf to its center.
