By Eric Petitt And Mark Woodard | October 27, 1995

Harvard Weekend holds long tradition

By Eric Petitt | October 27, 1995

After basking in the traditions and celebration of Dartmout Night and Homecoming Weekend last week, the men and women of Dartmouth find themselves in the midst of another age-old historical landmark, Harvard Weekend. If you ask students today what Harvard Weekend is, what it 'means' to them, one all encompassing answer always seems to eventually crop up. "It's a day off," Kyle Teamey '98 said. For others, however, and especially for Dartmouth alumni, this weekend is one of the biggest of the year. "It was a massive exodus," explained Dartmouth's athletic director, Dick Jaeger '58, describing his Harvard Weekends when he was a student at Dartmouth. Jaeger said the tradition of not having Friday classes extends far back. "It used to be a time factor and distance factor situation," he said.

Big Green squashes Colgate in Homecoming game

By Eric Petitt | October 23, 1995

Neither the rain nor the 25 mph gusts of wind could stop the fate of the swamp fest Saturday at Memorial Field, as the Dartmouth football team added its own version of Big Green celebration on the centennial anniversary of Dartmouth weekend. Dartmouth, now 4-2 on the year, attacked early and decisively against a smaller and younger Colgate team, in the midst of its worst record [0-7] in school history. The Big Green built a 35-0 half-time lead and then coasted the rest of the way to take the Homecoming victory, and a little sweet revenge from the Red Raiders of Colgate, to the tune of a 35-14 shellacking in front of 6,021 drenched fans. "I think for a lot of people [this game] was personal.

Big Green defense unstoppable

By Mark Woodard | October 19, 1995

The Dartmouth football team has had its share of ups and downs this year, but one stabilizing force for the Big Green has been their defense. While the offense, which has been a mix of different quarterbacks, a new running back and an injured receiver has proven to be inconsistent at times, the Dartmouth defense has undoubtedly led this Big Green squad to a its current winning record. "There is really good chemistry between everyone," co-Captain Taran Lent '96 said.
