Kat Hanks: A Leader and Complete Player

|

What is the best way to start building a championship-winning basketball team? While having a competent point guard to serve as a floor general or a lights-out shooter to provide instant offense are keys to fashioning a good squad, the real key is having a strong presence in the middle. Big Green junior center Katharine Hanks provides such a dominating inside game.

Crews Close Campaign at FOTC

|

After having their race postponed a week, the Dartmouth women's crews will join both the heavyweight and lightweight men at this weekend's Foot of the Charles regatta in Cambridge. The race traditionally marks the close of the fall racing season, and both the men and women hope to make the most of their last opportunity to get on the water before closing up shop and hitting the ergs for the winter. The Foot of the Charles, unlike the much larger Head of the Charles, features four-man boat races and only includes schools from the northeast region of the U.S.

No Go for Three '04s

|

Riding high after their 2-0 dismantling of 24th-ranked Fairfield University Wednesday, coach Jeff Cook and the Dartmouth Big Green (6-7-2, 1-4-1 Ivy) are shaking things up this weekend to try and garner their second Ivy win of the year when they head down to Philadelphia to take on Penn. Sophomore usuals Seth Eaton, Rob Daly and Matt LaBarre will not travel.

Opener At 'Gate

|

Disappointed by a one-point exhibition loss to SK Galatasaray from Hungary last weekend, the Dartmouth women's hoops team looks to rebound against the Colgate Raiders tomorrow in Upstate New York. The Big Green is led by Kat Hanks '03, who scored a game-high 30 points in the loss, and also dropped in 22 against Colgate last year in a 64-55 Big Green victory. The Big Green is planning, as it will all year, to use its size.

Can QB Make Finale Memorable?

|

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. I remember being surprised at how well he was handling what looked to be the end of what he would later describe as a "dream season." All Smith wanted to talk about was the rest of the team's prospects without him, which he maintained would remain good. It wasn't until the end of the interview that a hint of the expected emotion crept into the fallen star's voice. "I don't want this to be my last memory of football," he said and his profound disappointment was apparent to all listening. Well, it looks like Smith is going to get his wish. Head coach John Lyons confirmed yesterday that the quarterback has been practicing this week and is likely to return tomorrow to split time with Joe Kinder '03. Ever since Smith and his two 400+-yard games went down in the fourth game of the campaign, the passing game has been non-existent.

Starting In N.Y.

|

After passing their only preseason test with a 68-54 exhibition win over St. Francis Xavier University last Friday night, the Dartmouth men's basketball team travels to western New York tonight for its season opener against Binghamton University. Co-captain Vedad Osmanovic '02 views Binghamton as a more formidable threat than what the team faced last week. "Binghamton is a stronger team, in my opinion, and they are hungry, so the competition will be better," Osmanovic said.
