It's a soggy graduation Sunday in Hanover. Up here on the mountain the rain has stopped but there's heavy overcast and a chill in the air. ... A certain Hanover 7th-grader who lives and breathes baseball of the '50s and '60s would like nothing more than to camp outside of the Hanover Inn today trying for a glimpse of soon-to-be Dr. Willie Mays (scan down this story) but given the rain that's probably not going to happen. ... I'm not sure if next fall's fifth-year seniors are walking, but the guess is they are, so congratulations to all of last fall's players in the Class of '07: Lucius Alexander, Chris Blanco*, Don Bly, Bobby Calderwood, Dan Cook*, Preston Copley, Mike Fritz, Joe Gibalski, Cullen Gilchrist*, Sam McDonald and Joe Scola. (* fifth-year seniors next fall; Scola will be back to finish his degree but ineligible to play.) ...
An interesting note from a Dartmouth release:
Eighty percent of the Dartmouth Class of 2007 made donations to support the Senior Class Gift (SCG), breaking the old participation record held by the Class of 2006, which stood at 73 percent.Former All-Ivy defensive back John Carney '78 gets a mention regarding the race for governor of Delaware and one of his projected opponents in the primary in this story. Carney won the Bob Blackman Trophy for contributing the most to the success of the team one year before it was given to a fellow by the name of Buddy Teevens. The story says of Carney:
The second of nine children born to Jack and Ann Carney of Claymont, he helped quarterback St. Mark's High School to a state football championship and went on to earn degrees at Dartmouth College and the University of Delaware.With the Miami Dolphins' signing of Trent Green, Jay Fiedler's name keeps being invoked, occasionally with a little more respect than when he was on the roster. The Miami Herald writes:
Green is today a more talented quarterback than gritty Jay Fiedler or goofy A.J. Feeley.
