The new Dartmouth soccer facility named after Whitey Burnham is proceeding nicely as these pictures shot late last week show. The sod has been put down, the lighting is in place and the footings for the grandstand have been set. The top picture shows where the grandstand will be erected. (The football practice fields run parallel to the grandstand.) The bottom picture is looking from near the entrance to the Thompson Arena parking lot.With the graduation of Mike Fritz, Dartmouth will have a new quarterback this fall. Tom Bennewitz will begin camp as the No. 1 signalcaller with former starter Josh Cohen and sophomores Alex Jenny and Max Heiges pushing for time. Two freshmen will join the mix.
Will Deevy (6-foot-5, 210) is from Englewood, Colo., and Kent Denver School where he threw to Dartmouth sophomore Ian Ferrell. For video of Deevy in action, click here.
Tim McManus (6-0, 183) is from St. Paul Minnesota and St. Thomas Academy. He'll remind you a little of Matt Brzica '93, another St. Thomas quarterback who was Ivy League rookie of the year in his first season. For video of McManus in action, click here.
With Anthony Gargiulo '06 sidelined by a swollen knee, the short-handed Calgary Stampeders got stampeded yesterday by Saskatchewan, 49-8. Gargiulo's loss was doubly-felt because his replacement was ejected from the game, leaving the Stamps with just four defensive linemen. Story.
Englewood, Colo., by the way, has been fertile recruiting ground for Dartmouth football over the years. The co-captains of the '95 team, Taran Lent '96 and Pete Oberle '96, were high school teammates at Cherry Creek in Englewood. Promising sophomore defensive back James O'Brien also comes from "Creek."
Speaking of Englewood, today's Rocky Mountain News reports that Dartmouth's Big Green Bus -- touting the advantages of biofuel -- broke down in the Denver suburb.
