Pelton is at home on the court?

By Scott Anthony | April 11, 1994

He smiles when he gets on the court, the administrative worries of the day replaced by the need to stretch out muscles tense from hours sitting at a desk and endless committee meetings. "You're too tight Lee, you're wound up like a spring," a fellow player who comes over to help him stretch his 6-foot-3 frame says. Here the rhythmic clicking of computer keys in his Parkhurst office is replaced by the high-pitched squeaking of sneakers and the discordant clang of basketballs hitting the rim. The other players know him simply as "Lee," and he looks more comfortable in his green tank-top and blue gym shorts than in his suit and tie. As the minutes tick by, the administrative troubles melt away, replaced by the quizzical frown of a man who cannot determine why his shots are not falling today. Dean of the College Lee Pelton looks at home. The former high school basketball player says he tries to hit the hardwood at least two or three times a week.

Nelson said senior leadership has been teh most important factor in the team's five wins.

Women's tennis returns with hopes for success

By Tuni Bergey | March 31, 1994

After the intricacies of Dartmouth's D-plan caused two of the top eight women's tennis players to be off campus during winter training, it would not have been unreasonable to expect the spring season to get off to a shaky start. But so far this does not appear to be the case. The Big Green returned from their exhibition trip to Florida with a spring break record of 3-2 and many strong individual performances.

Women's hoops miss NCAA berth

By Camile Powell | March 28, 1994

Somebody forgot to tell the women's basketball team that they were not supposed to win the Ivy title this year. Somebody forgot to tell them that a team with seven freshmen and three sophomores is usually a year or two away from being a serious contender. Somebody forgot to tell them that a team with a new coaching staff generally needs a year to get used to one another. And somebody forgot to tell them that a team that returns three starters from an 8-18 team usually does not unseat a two-time defending league champ. Thank goodness somebody forgot. The women's basketball team, picked to finish fifth in the Ivy League in a preseason media poll, surpassed all expectations by sharing the Ivy title with two-time defending champion Brown. A hard-fought 77-64 win at Harvard back on March 8 put the finishing touches on an outstanding season and clinched the Ivy title for the Big Green. "A banner went up in the gym with that win at Harvard," Coach Chris Wielgus said. The victory also forced a one game playoff to determine which team would represent the Ivy League in the expanded NCAA tournament.
