Nelson turns lacrosse team around with patience, touch coaching

By Amy Hatch | May 17, 1995

Men's lacrosse Coach Tim Nelson took on the impossible and has proven that the Dartmouth men's lacrosse team can be as successful as any other Big Green sport.

Nelson, however, came to Dartmouth and was determined to bring respect back to the Big Green men's lacrosse team.

Heavyweight crew defeats Syracuse

By Charles Davant | May 15, 1995

The heavyweight crew team drubbed Syracuse in a controversial race through rough waters yesterday morning. Referees afterwards called for a rerace, saying the choppy water in Syracuse's lane was not replicated in Dartmouth's lane, contributing to Dartmouth's six-second victory over the 1,500 meter course. But the coaches decided to let the original decision stand. "The referee was a complete idiot," Dartmouth Coach Scott Armstrong said. Armstrong speculated one reason Syracuse did not pursue a rerace was because it had failed in its obligation to produce a fair course. Because of unrowable conditions, Syracuse had shifted from the Onondaga River to a different, shorter section of water. "Hell, it is their race course.

D-Plan creates unique problems, benefits for College athletes

By Erika Tower | May 12, 1995

The Dartmouth-Plan gives students opportunities they might not otherwise have by allowing them to take off-terms during the academic year and to spend a summer term on campus. But for athletes, especially the two- or three-season athletes, whose athletic schedules conflict with programs they otherwise might take advantage of, the D-Plan can be a hindrance. "There is a definite emphasis on year-round training and many of our seasons overlap anyway," Director of Athletics Dick Jaeger said.
