Baseball snags 8-7 win over Tufts

By Eric Petitt | April 26, 1996

Call them the Big Green Grit if you want, because with their backs up against the wall, they are all heart. The Big Green rallied in their last two at-bats to rip victory from the hands of the Tufts Jumbos (yes, there is a worse mascot than Green), giving Dartmouth its second straight come from behind victory, 8-7. With Dartmouth down by two runs in the bottom of the last inning, Jimmy Meyer '97 led off with a scorching rope to center field, landing him at first base with number three hitter Andrew Spencer '97 coming to the plate.

Men's lacrosse thrashes UVM

By Jesse Sweet | April 25, 1996

Yesterday's men's lacrosse game could have been the biggest shoot that did not include postal employees in years if the University of Vermont's offense had been able to penetrate the iron curtain of Dartmouth's defense. Yesterday's game could have been a hard-nosed defensive battle if UVM had held the lean mean scoring machine Scott Hapgood '97 to under five goals. Yesterday's game could have been an epic tale of two teams battling with pride and determination to attain the status of "the champion" if UVM had found some way to slow down the high-powered Big Green lacrosse team. As Vermont discovered, all the "could have been's" in the world do not win lacrosse games.

By Eric Petitt | April 25, 1996

The Big Green baseball team had a little fun yesterday, coming from behind to crush its hosts from the University of New Hampshire 15-10. Dartmouth, down 7-4 going into the seventh inning, erupted for nine runs, six of them unearned, to take a 13-7 lead against New Hampshire.

Athlete of the Week

By The Dartmouth | April 24, 1996

Junior Adam Nelson's throw of 61-2 3/4 in the shot put last weekend was enough to earn him NCAA and Olympic provisional qualification. Nelson's throw, which helped his team towards a second place finish just behind the University of Massachusetts, was also best throw this year of all Heps, New England and IC4A competitors. "It was incredible," Coach Barry Harwick said of Nelson's put.

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.

Track teams split weekend's results

By Austin Whitman | April 22, 1996

The men's and women's track teams competed separately last weekend, the men at an invitational hosted by Northeastern and the women at the University of Massachusetts. Men's team: UMass barely edged out the Big Green men at Northeastern for a first-place finish with 64 points.

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.
