A geophysics class will scan the area later this spring where the cannon is believed to be buried with a magnetometer to try and locate it, according to Haas. She said she could not comment on whether the school would agree to have the area dug up. "It's so premature right now. We don't even know if there is a cannon there right now," (Genevieve Haas, public affairs officer for Dartmouth College) said.There's a story in the Daily Dartmouth and another in the Rutland Herald.
If anyone out there has more information on the cannon or recalls hearing about it, feel free to drop me an email.
It's an intriguing story, but time will tell how it pans out. When I first heard about it, I imagined a revolutionary war cannon being hidden from a possible appearance of the British on the piece of ground that would one day become Memorial Field. The story as it stands now is interesting but not that dramatic and not as dramatic as some of the reports are making it out to be. The carriage wasn't really buried and certainly was not buried below the football field. It was hidden under the stands – and not that well. Maybe the story will take a more dramatic turn if/when the barrel of the cannon is found.
Not much else to report today so I'll offer you up an early look at the spring football roster. Weights have not been adjusted. Some positions have.
