The seventh inning stretch

|

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

|

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

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

|

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

|

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.

My Summer Camp

|

I love the summer. Especially here at Dartmouth, where I'm allowed to take two classes, NRO one of them, and spend the rest of the time playing sports and enjoying the outdoors.

Area hikes offer scenic options

|

Despite the popularity of outdoor recreation here at Dartmouth, many students may not be aware of the proximity and promise of two local hiking delights, the Velvet Rocks Trail and Gile Mountain. Within walking distance of campus, the Velvet Rocks Trail can be found just beyond the Hanover Coop Mobil Station.

Full-contact magic

I have an exciting life. I watch television, read magazines and newspapers, all in the search of the strange and unusual in the sports world.
