Big Green fall to Colgate

By Scott Anthony | September 20, 1994

If the Dartmouth football team was trailing by four points with less than five minutes to go and Jay Fiedler '94 was leading the team down the field, it was almost assumed that Dartmouth would end up on the right side of a fourth-quarter comeback. But Fiedler has made the big step up to the National Football League, and two late drives led by new quarterback Ren Riley '96 came up short, as Dartmouth (0-1 overall, 0-0 Ivy League) fell 20-16 to Colgate University in soggy Hamilton, N.Y. The game looked like it was over when, with eight minutes left, Brian White '95 fumbled a punt, giving Colgate the ball on the Dartmouth 12-yard line. But with Colgate driving for a clinching touchdown, Tim Cross '96 came up with a fumble, giving the Big Green the ball on their own seven. Riley then led the team on an efficient 90-plus-yard drive -- a 27-yard completion to David Shearer '95 left the Big Green just two yards away from the go-ahead touchdown. On fourth and goal from the three, Riley started running the option, but slipped on the wet field, giving Colgate the ball back.

Fiedler '94 may survive final cuts

By Scott Anthony | August 23, 1994

Jay Fielder '94 did not play Saturday night, but he still might have moved one step closer to making the Philadelphia Eagles of the National Football League. Fiedler, the Dartmouth varsity quarterback the last three years, is fighting with second-year pro Preston Jones for the Eagle's third-string quarterback spot. Two weeks ago, Fielder completed 9 of 18 passes for 108 yards against the New York Jets, a game that Jones did not play in. Jones was scheduled to play the fourth quarter of the Eagle's Saturday game against the Cincinnati Bengals but did not. Second-string quarterback Bubby Brister played the third and fourth quarters.

Two '96s battle to replace Fiedler

By Scott Anthony | August 19, 1994

When Dartmouth football opens its training camp next week, there will be a shoot-out for the team's starting quarterback spot. All-everything quarterback Jay Fiedler '94 has graduated and now throws footballs for the Philadelphia Eagles of the National Football League. The Dartmouth football team must now begin its search for its next offensive leader, the man who will carry them to another Ivy League crown. Ren Riley '96 will go into camp as the number one quarterback, varsity football coach John Lyons said yesterday. Last season, Riley was the number one back-up to Fiedler, which meant that he did not see much playing time on the field. But Lyons has recruited Jerry Singleton '96, a transfer student from Colorado State University, to come in and challenge Riley for the starting job this season. Lyons said Singleton will start training camp as the number-two quarterback behind Riley, but whoever has the best pre-season will win the job. "We'll go through pre-season and give both of them a lot of work and see what they can do," Lyons said. Unofficial practices Lyons said he got to know Singleton during the recruitment process last year. Singleton has been up in Hanover this summer, working for the College and meeting his new teammates. This summer, Lyons said he has had the opportunity to get to know Singleton better. "He seems to be someone who's very serious about football, and he's working very hard to get himself ready for this year," Lyons said.

Fiedler '94 plays well for NFL Eagles

By Scott Anthony | August 15, 1994

Jay Fiedler '94 turned in a strong performance at quarterback for the Philadelphia Eagles on Saturday night in his continuing effort to play his way into a roster spot on the National Football League team. The Eagles lost the preseason game at home to the New York Jets, 34-24. Fiedler is battling second-year player Preston Jones for the third-string quarterback position. Fiedler, who was signed by the Eagles as a non-drafted free agent in late April, played two quarters against the Jets.

Fiedler makes pro debut

By Scott Anthony | August 9, 1994

Jay Fiedler '94 donned a green-and-white jersey to play a football game for the first time in nine months Friday night. But instead of playing for the Big Green, Fiedler was making his professional debut for the Philadelphia Eagles. Fiedler, who rewrote the Dartmouth record book during his three years as a varsity starter, stepped onto Soldier Field in Chicago for the fourth quarter of the Eagles 12-6 preseason loss to the Chicago Bears. He had a fairly successful quarter, completing three of six passes for 40 yards.

Henley results mixed

By David Hemmer | August 9, 1994

The women's and men's crew teams had mixed results against strong competition and in fierce weather conditions at the Candian Henley last week in Ontario. The women's top performance was in the 500-meter-dash eights where they finished second in their heat, qualifying for the final. But one rower came off her seat during the final, forcing the boat to finish the race with only seven rowers, and it finished last.

Betsy Gilmore '94 to return

By Scott Anthony | July 28, 1994

Ivy League Player of the Year Betsy Gilmore '94, who scored 8.5 points a game last year, will use her last year of eligibility and return to the hardwood next year. Gilmore did not play basketball during her sophomore year, so she still had one year of eligibility left. "Betsy will be returning next year," Coach Chris Wielgus said. Gilmore was the emotional leader of the women's basketball team that finished with a 16-11 record, good for a first-place tie with Brown University. The team lost a playoff game to Brown that determined which team would represent the Ivy League in the NCAA Women's Basketball Tournament. Gilmore's return will make the Big Green likely favorites next year.

Ruggers lose early, often last weekend

By Alexander R. Edlich | July 28, 1994

Despite winning its first game of the summer, the men's rugby club was pounded twice last weekend at the Acton Ten Good Men tournament in Massachusetts. After arriving late to its first match, the team of 10 players lost to the Amoskeag Men's Club in a convincing fashion. "They spanked us twenty-four to three," Dan Kalafatas '96 said. This summer, the club is playing in matches were the teams field squads of seven or 10 players. Ten's is primarily a passing game based on continuity and possession of the ball unlike the 15-member game played during the year when speed and strength play more of a factor. In the closing seconds of its second match last weekend against the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the Dartmouth team came from behind to win seven to five. After a scrum, Todd Aaron '96 raced down to mid-field, kicking the ball out to Chris McGee '96.

Fiedler fights for position on NFL Eagles

By Scott Anthony | July 20, 1994

Jay Fiedler '94 started his quest to become a National Football League quarterback yesterday as the Philadelphia Eagles opened their 1994 rookie camp in West Chester, Pa. Fiedler, who signed with the Eagles as an undrafted free agent in late April, is battling second-year pro Preston Jones for the third-string quarterback position. If Fiedler makes the team, he will backup Randall Cunningham and Bubby Brister. In an interview from his home in Oceanside, N.Y., Fiedler said he was "anxious and excited" to start training camp. "I've been down there a couple of times, so I know what to expect," he said.

Women's crew team finishes strong season

By David Hemmer | July 14, 1994

The women's varsity crew team advanced to the semifinals before losing to the eventual champions at Royal Henley Regatta in Henley-On-Thames England late last month. The team was forced by event organizers to race in the open, rather than the intercollegiate division, because of Dartmouth's overwhelming victory in the collegiate division two years ago, where it won "easily" -- classified as a victory by more than several boat-lengths of open water. But the harder division did not stifle the team's confidence.

Crew reflects on England and Princeton rivalry

By Alexander R. Edlich | July 12, 1994

It was not "Oxford Blues" and the team had a hard time finding words to describe the experience, but the varsity men's lightweight crew team said their trip to England is something that will linger in their minds for a long time. During the trip, at Henley-On-Thames, Dartmouth avenged a 0.6-second loss to Princeton University in the Eastern Sprints by defeating them by open water in the Marlow Regatta. The win gave Dartmouth a 3-2 record against the their archrivals this year. Dartmouth was geared up to make it two in a row by meeting Princeton in the Henley Royal Regatta a few days later. In an interview yesterday, team members spoke of their excitement before the quarter-final race.

Rugby loses against tough competition

By Alexander R. Edlich | July 12, 1994

At the Burlington Seven's Tournament on Saturday, four experienced men's club teams defeated the Dartmouth Men's Rugby Club. Unlike the regular season, Dartmouth's team, consisting of seven players, went against predominently men's clubs instead of college sides. Seven's is primarily a passing game based on continuity and possession of the ball unlike the 15-member game played during the year when speed and strength play more of a factor. Sophmore tour players Todd Aaron, Doug Asano, Chris McGee, John Moore, Jonathan Stoel, Craig Thomas and Roger Vincent composed the team.
