Heavyweights sweep BU, Rutgers

By Brian Fleming | April 24, 1996

The men's heavyweight crew team swept its way to victory, defeating both Boston University and Rutgers last Saturday. The race, scheduled to take place on the Rutgers course, was moved to Princeton's man-made course because the Rutgers course was flooded. Despite the change of venues the rowers still had to endure rough conditions. "It's hard to say how we were rowing because we had a tailwind and some nasty chops," Todd Newman '96 said.

'Big Green' must be changed to inspire

By Justin Evans | April 23, 1996

Dartmouth needs a new mascot. Scratch that ... Dartmouth needs a mascot. Dartmouth's lack of a mascot has been laughed at for years, and it is time for a change. Not only would a mascot increase fan enthusiasm, but it would bring in added revenue from the sale of apparel bearing the mascot. Before every home football game, the University of Colorado parades its mascot, a buffalo, around the field.

Rowers claim 2nd at Biglin Bowl

By Mark Woodard | April 23, 1996

Dartmouth's lightweight men's crew team traveled to Boston this past weekend to compete in the Biglin Bowl against three other New England teams in a four-way regatta. The regatta, which looked to be a good measuring stick of Dartmouth's position in the region, was a great success.

Slump surges on as baseball goes 1 for 4

By Eric Petitt | April 22, 1996

The Dartmouth baseball team did not come home with what it was looking for in Providence this weekend, losing three of four games in two doubleheaders against Brown. The weekend dropped the Big Green to 5-7 in the Ivy League and into the Red Rolfe Division cellar, if you can call it that. At least the Big Green have a room of their own.

Men's lax drops important game

By Jesse Sweet | April 22, 1996

The first half of Saturday's lacrosse game between Brown and Dartmouth was as emotional as a Ricki Lake show about mother's who steal there satan-worshipping daughter's transvestite boyfriends, as Dartmouth tried to recover from its loss to Yale and Brown tried to seek a playoff tournament birth. Brown prevailed in the end, however, pulling ahead of the Big Green to take a 17-6 victory. Brown jumped out to an early lead, but Dartmouth was determined to keep pace with the Bears.

Men's golf takes second at Yale

By Paul Costello | April 18, 1996

Coach Bill Johnson's prediction that his men's golf team would "surprise a lot of teams in the spring," came true this weekend with a second place finish at this year's Yale Invitational. Second only to Yale, who used its home course advantage to its fullest, Dartmouth beat out four other Ivies, golf powerhouses Central Connecticut and UConn, as well as 10 other fine squads. Due to extremely demanding and, at times, virtually illegal pin positions, none of the 95 players in the field managed to break par, and only 14 managed to break 80. With a great effort, Jay Lavender '97 posted a 78.

Women's crew edges out Yale, BU

By Jonathan A. Lee | April 18, 1996

Have you ever seen a boat with wings? Have you ever seen a boat "fly" against heavy tailwinds? If you went to see the women's crew races down in Boston this weekend, this is precisely what you saw.

Yale nails men's lax 15-7 in final quarter

By Jesse Sweet | April 18, 1996

Yesterday, Yale's men's lacrosse team escaped the angst and urban decay of New Haven, Conn., enjoying a sweet 15-7 victory over old foe Dartmouth and avenging an embarrassing home loss a year ago. And emotions ran high. Not only were the two teams vying for the Ivy League championship, and a possible tournament berth, but the teams were tied for the 18th seed in the country. The two teams got into a dog fight in the first half as they scrapped for every ground ball, goal and possession.

Heavyweights sweep UNH crews

By Brian Fleming | April 18, 1996

The Big Green men's heavyweight crew team came away victorious in every race, as it swept the University of New Hampshire, in Durham, on Sunday. The freshmen boats were victorious in all three of their races, as was the junior varsity boat, which cruised to an easy win by more than 15 seconds. The varsity race proved to be the tightest for the Big Green rowers, as they managed to hold off UNH by a single boat length. The varsity race was neck and neck for most of the 1,750 meter course, but Dartmouth made a strong move with 100 meters remaining and pulled out the victory. One reason why the varsity boat may have struggled, while the junior varsity boat rowed strongly, was an unusual lineup change made for this race. Instead of anchoring the varsity boat as the members are accustomed, co-Captains Brian Palm '96 and Tom Gilmore '96 were switched into the junior varsity boat. "It was actually a lot of fun rowing with the junior varsity boat," said Palm.

Pelton runs marathon in just over four hours

By Jonathan A. Lee | April 16, 1996

Yesterday was one of those rare days when you just roll out of bed and get excited knowing that it's going to be a great day to play frisbee on the Green or take a nice run. Dean of the College Lee Pelton also decided to take a nice run in the Boston Marathon. Working together, Pelton and his wife, who also ran, managed to keep a steady, but comfortable pace from start to finish.
