Soccer coach resigns

By Brad Parks | January 20, 1994

Bobby Clark, the men's soccer coach for the last nine years who established the Big Green as one of the nation's premier soccer programs, is leaving Dartmouth to coach New Zealand's national soccer team. Clark met with team members Tuesday night to inform them of his decision and made his resignation public yesterday in a letter to supporters of the College's soccer program. "This was a move that came quickly and unexpectedly for the Clark family," the letter said. Clark wrote in the letter that he had not been seeking the position but felt it was too rare an opportunity to pass up. Assistant Athletic Director Josie Harper said a search committee will be formed as soon as possible, probably within the next week, to find a replacement.

Frame of a point guard, mind of a center

By Brad Parks | January 19, 1994

There are times during a game when Gregg Frame '94 looks like he might charge if someone were to wave a piece of red cloth in front of him. It's generally just after he's sent an opposing point guard, or anyone foolish enough to get in his way as he bangs in towards the basket, sprawling to the floor. It's at these times when you notice Frame's chin, which looks like it was carved straight from the granite of New Hampshire, or one of his knees, which somehow always seems to have a trickle of blood oozing down it, or his shoulders, which have NFL linebacker written all over them. A goatee - that scruffy patch of hair that comes and goes as his razor dulls - completes the neo-Neanderthal look for the 6-foot-3, 210 pound... point guard? No, the point guard part just doesn't fit.

Women's hockey out of Ivy race

By Brad Parks | January 18, 1994

The race for the Ivy League title in women's hockey is down to two teams - unfortunately, Dartmouth is not among them. League-leading Brown University effectively knocked the Big Green out of the championship picture with a 5-3 win over Dartmouth on Saturday at Thompson Arena. A 13-5 bombardment of Cornell University on Sunday in Hanover pushed Dartmouth's record to 7-5-1 overall and 2-2-1 in the Ivy League, but did little to help the team's chances as it now needs both Brown and Princeton to post at least three losses apiece to have a shot at defending its Ivy Championship. Brown (8-2 overall, 4-0 Ivy) thoroughly dominated Dartmouth in the first period, blasting three goals past Big Green goalie Sarah Lenczner '97 in the first twenty minutes.

Harvard too quick for men's basketball

By Brad Parks | January 17, 1994

In a season where every single night turns into "just one of those games" for the 1-12 Big Green men's basketball team, Harvard certainly did its best not to break any trends in a 79-69 slapping of Dartmouth on Saturday night in Leede Arena. On defense, Harvard was quicker at every position, from center to water boy, as the Crimson picked Dartmouth for 20 steals and forced a homely 26 turnovers. On offense, the Crimson's brick-heaving point guard, Tarik Campbell, who averages six points a game on 31 percent shooting, drilled half his shots to score 16 while Michael Gilmore, a sixth man who averages a sleepy 10 points a game, scored a career-high 21 points. From the foul stripe, Harvard, which normally converts a grandmotherly 63 percent of its free throws, found a way to score 34 points from the line of largess. And the end result was that Harvard, a squad that came into the contest with a seven-game losing streak, grabbed its first win in nearly a month. Dartmouth, meanwhile, fattened its losing streak to double digits.

UVM shaves men's hoops, 87-82

By Brad Parks | January 12, 1994

For a few brief, tantalizing moments in last night's 87-82 loss to the University of Vermont, the men's basketball team showed the world on the floor of Leede Arena a few glimpses of the future. Sea Lonergan '97 scored 20 and was perfect in three tries from three-point land.

Men's hockey splits

By Brad Parks | January 10, 1994

As he watched Princeton fourth-line winger Ethan Early burn Dartmouth defenseman Mike Loga '93 for a goal that put the Tigers ahead 4-1, Princeton's Assistant Sports Information Director Mike Jackman grinned and said, "Gotta love those tennis balls." Just about anyone in orange and black would have to concur.

Sports Shorts

By Brad Parks | January 5, 1994

Jay Fiedler '94 leads a star-studded - or as star-studded as the Ivy League gets - contingent of senior first and second team All-Ivy selections at the fourth annual Epson Ivy Bowl this weekend in Tokyo, Japan. Other Big Green football players who are Orient-bound include safeties Jason Fell '94 and Jim McGeehan '94, wide receiver John Hyland '94, offensive tackle Andy McDonald '94, linebacker George Neos '94 and cheerleader Melissa Nguyen '94. The Ivy gridders have not lost the Epson Bowl in the three previous meetings of East versus West, outscoring the apparently out-gunned Japanese team a combined 139-13. The Bowl, which pits the top seniors in the Ivy League against Japan's best college and university players, will be on Saturday in the Tokyo Bowl (tickets are still available). From there, Fiedler heads to Palo Alto, California for the East/West Shrine Game and then to Mobile, Alabama for the Senior Bowl.
