Is nothing sacred?

By Jonathan Riccio | September 29, 2000

For years he was the cornerstone of a franchise that just couldn't quite get over the hump. He was always stuck behind Michael Jordan and the Bulls' dynasty of the '90s or mired in an abyss of early playoff disappointments that characterized the '80s for his team.

Football begins Ivy play at Penn

By Austin Zalkin | September 29, 2000

This is it. There's no room for error. Dartmouth football had its "pre-season" and now the games really count. True, the first two games of this year -- a 42-24 loss to Colgate in Hanover two weeks ago and a 42-21 defeat at New Hampshire last weekend -- count in the standings.

A hard day's knight

By Kelly Schneiter | September 28, 2000

This fall, for the first time in nearly three decades, men's basketball at Indiana University will begin without Bobby Knight as head coach.

Palmer '93 faces Dream Team and others in Sydney

By Abraham Mahshie | September 28, 2000

It's a long road from Hanover to Sydney. For Crawford Palmer '93, it's been winding too. The 6' 10" center Palmer began his hoop dream journey as a part of three Final Four teams at Duke University, including the championship '91-'92 squad, before he transferred to Dartmouth for a final two years. But the highlights in college don't compare to his performance since graduation.

Feed a fever

By Lou Scerra | September 28, 2000

I'll admit it -- I have Olympic fever. The thought of the best athletes in the world competing for their respective countries has to stir the blood of every sports fan in every nation.

Ivy field hockey contenders face off

By Scott Harrison | September 27, 2000

This past week featured several key Ivy League women's soccer match-ups. Several top teams squared off to establish an edge early in the season. Brown 2, Harvard 0 Bekah Splaine of the Brown Bears nailed in a shot from way out just 43 seconds into the match, scoring what proved to be all that was necessary for victory on the day. The Bears' goalie tandem of Mary Jo Markle and Sarah Gervais made the real difference in the game, saving 10 shots versus three saves for Brown.

The wild card is a misdeal

By Chris Haffenreffer | September 27, 2000

Monday evening, as I sat on my couch watching the Olympics (which I tend to constantly do), I noticed a teaser for the upcoming series between the New York Mets and the Atlanta Braves.

Men's soccer edges Vermont

By Mark S. Davis | September 27, 2000

The Dartmouth men's soccer team, with a little help from a Vermont defender, captured its fourth victory of the season by a score of 1-0 at Vermont yesterday. The only goal of the game came on a free kick in the 19th minute, when a Vermont player headed the ball into his own goal. The rest was left to Dartmouth keeper Ben Gebre-Medhin '02, who had yet another impressive game with six saves.

Men's soccer hopeful in 2000

By Kevin Allen | September 26, 2000

Maybe Dartmouth men's soccer fans shouldn't be too excited by the team's 3-2 record (1-0 Ivy). But hey, the Big Green's three wins this season are as many as they had during all of last year's tough campaign. If nothing else, believe that Head Coach Fran O'Leary knows how to win.

The seventh inning stretch

By Matthew B. Burgess | September 26, 2000

As the air turns colder, summer officially comes to an end and Major League Baseball heads into the final week of the regular season, we turn our attention to three men whose ineffectiveness has been so brilliant that they are simultaneously closing in on three of baseball's most dubious distinctions. Omar Daal and the 20-Loss Club Brian Kingman can't sleep at night.

Football faces tough test at UNH

By Austin Zalkin | September 22, 2000

When Dartmouth renews its in-state rivalry at the University of New Hampshire tomorrow, the Big Green will take on a Wildcat team even better than the Colgate squad that felled them 42-24 last weekend. UNH stands at 3-0, rated 25th in Division I-AA, and has given up an average of 12 points a game in wins over Hampton College, Rhode Island and Northeastern. To compound matters, Dartmouth (0-1) will take the field without its starting quarterback, Brian Mann '02, who is recovering from a concussion suffered against the Red Raiders last Saturday.

Forget the pros

By Thomas J. Hutchison | September 21, 2000

There is one basic premise to this column: college football is infinitely superior to the pro version. This college football season is already shaping up to be a great one.

Tennis teams look forward to fall

By Adam Small | September 21, 2000

The Dartmouth women's tennis team, coming off a 10-8 mark a year ago, including a 4-3 record in Ivy League competition, begins its season tomorrow with high hopes. Eight letter-winners, comprising the majority of the team's lineup are returning this season, which starts with the Cissie Leary Tournament at Penn, comprising the majority of their lineup. The team graduated two of its stars, four-time All-Ivy singles player Rebecca Dirksen '00 and her All-Ivy doubles partner Allison Taff '00.

Women's golf places second

By Austin Zalkin | September 20, 2000

The Dartmouth women's golf team finished tied for second out of 17 teams at last weekend's Dartmouth Invitational tournament at the Hanover Country Club. Princeton won the two-day competition by 21 strokes, despite trailing by two after the first day. The Tigers' Adrienne Gill recorded the tournament's lowest shot total, posting a 77 in her first round and a tournament-low 71 on day two. But two of Dartmouth's rookie team members were not far behind.
