By Eric Petitt | May 15, 1996

Everyone has seen this die hard bunch with their multicolored flying saucers in hand, practicing "hammer" tosses and long cuts come rain or shine on the Green. But who has seen the rag tag bunch of ultimate Frisbee players actually compete? For those who don't know, the Dartmouth ultimate Frisbee team, a club sport supported by only a $500 per year stipend from the athletic department, wrapped up its best season in 10 years this spring ranked 30th nationally -- quite an improvement from 95th last year. This year's team is heavily manned by '99s who have been working hard to learn the tools of the trade.
