Issues on campus can relate to the world of sports

By Kevin Demoff | February 11, 1999

As sports imitate life, so too does life imitate sports. In recent months, the NBA has undergone a turbulent transition and is now searching for a new identity: Michael Jordan retired, owners locked players out and fans threatened never to come back to the games. Today's news of impending change at the College reminds me of the NBA situation as it appears that Dartmouth is searching for a new identity.

Princeton edges Penn with a big comeback

By Austin Zalkin | February 10, 1999

In the 1986 World Series, Red Sox first baseman Bill Buckner let a Mookie Wilson ground ball through his legs and precipitated a remarkable Mets comeback victory. In 1992, the Buffalo Bills rebounded from a 35 point first half deficit to win a playoff game against the Houston Oilers by a field goal. These amazing turnarounds might just be on par with that of the men's basketball game between Princeton University and the University of Pennsylvania last night at the Palestra. In the opening period, Penn worked its home fans into a frenzy, outscoring Princeton 33-9.

Green athletes honored as All-Americans, All-Stars

By Lou Scerra | February 2, 1999

While Dartmouth winter athletic teams paused yesterday to catch their collective breaths after an exciting weekend in which both basketball squads and the women's hockey team went a perfect 2-for-2, Dartmouth athletes from both the fall and the spring made individual headlines. Practice officially began for several spring sports yesterday including baseball and lacrosse and therefore College Lacrosse USA -- regarded as the top web site about college lacrosse released its preseason all-American teams with four Big Green juniors filling spots on the women's side. Midfielder Jacque Weitzel, who scored 62 goals and 10 assists for the Big Green a year ago was named to the all-American first team for attack while Melissa Frazier was named to the first team's defensive corp.

Frenzied Falcons to Feast On Broncos

By Jeff Bradford | January 29, 1999

The Falcons have never been to a Super Bowl. They have never even been close. But if anyone thinks the Falcons can't win, they haven't been watching much football this season. Still, all the chips seem to fall on Denver's side.

Dartmouth aquatics drop pair to Lions, Tigers

By Edward Thomas | January 26, 1999

In an unorthodox contest featuring events such as the 25-yard freestyle and the 800-yard individual medley, both the Dartmouth men's and women's swimming teams fell to perennial power Princeton on Sunday at Karl Michael Pool, after the men had suffered a loss to Columbia Saturday. Dartmouth's diving duo of Toby Hays '99 and Courtney duBois '99 took top honors in both the men's and women's events, with Hays defeating a strong Princeton cast in both one- and three-meter competition and DuBois winning the one-meter event by over 30 points. "I had my best meet ever on three-meter... it was considerably my highest score," Hays said. Hays also led the Big Green men in their close loss to Columbia on Saturday, which featured standout performances from Mike Hooper '99 and Ryan Utsumi '01. Despite falling to the Lions 181-112, Dartmouth turned out several season's best performances.

Realistic Dartmouth players appear in new video game

By Lou Scerra | January 20, 1999

"It's not easy being green," Kermit the Frog often sang. But for Dartmouth, sometimes it's not even easy to be the Big Green. 989 Sports's "NCAA Final Four '99" is a realistic and competitive college basketball video game for Sony's Playstation which, with the possibility of playing with nearly 300 Division I teams, should set the standard for hoops games. Naturally, upon putting the game in the machine, I figured where better to open up the college basketball season then in our own Leede Arena with Dartmouth taking on the visiting Providence Friars. The video game wins major points on realism with coaches pacing the sidelines, 3D graphics and play-by-play commentary.

Skiers feel confident with mix of experience, youth

By Christian Cutul | January 19, 1999

The Dartmouth ski team has high hopes for the coming season, and with good reason. A healthy team, the experience of successful veterans--including six returning All Americans--and a talented group of recruits make the outlook for this season even brighter than last year's successful campaign. "It's going to be an exciting season," said men's nordic coach Ruff Patterson. The Eastern Intercollegiate Ski Association (EISA) carnival circuit opens with the Bates Winter Carnival Jan.
