Preseason All-Americans On Schedule

Brown has released its incoming football recruiting class here. The release includes the following comment: "This year's class is recognized as one of the best in the Ivy League ..." (Discuss among yourselves. ;-)

The Yale football page has a collection of links to stories and photos from coach Jack Siedlecki's recent trip to the Middle East here.

The Cornell page has a tribute to former Big Red and Tampa Bay Bucs player Tom McHale, who has died at age 45.

Missed this yesterday but former Dartmouth football captain Taran Lent '96 is quoted extensively in a Daily Dartmouth story about perceptions of Beta, the fraternity that will return to campus this summer.

Yesterday's Daily D also has a photo of sophomore safety Peter Pidermann performing a scene for a Theater 10 presentation of Zoot Suit. (It's one of those annoying rotating photos on the top left of the page.)

By the way, I saw heavy equipment doing some digging on Red Rolfe Field this morning as work begins on the extensive renovations of the Dartmouth baseball field.

And finally ... I had a meeting at 7 this morning at Hanover Country Club for some work I'm doing this summer for the Tommy Keane Invitational golf tournament and brought the Hanover High sophomore and her 8th grade brother along so they could play a few holes before school. Both got new golf clubs for their birthdays. For what it's worth, I got them started in the game two years ago and the hook is in d-e-e-p. The 8th-grader is going to have a tough choice come fall between playing football as an undersized freshman or joining the popular and tremendously successful Hanover High golf team. ... The sophomore will have her own decision about whether to continue in field hockey or run on the Hanover cross country team that finished fourth in the nation a year year. She's not going to play on the golf team – but the temptation is very strong and trust me, for a kid with a distance runner's frame she can hit the ball a long, long way. ...

Next in a series of Dartmouth recruiting lists: Women's ice hockey

• Erica Dobos, F, Bethel Park, Pa. (North American Hockey Academy)
• Reagan Fischer, F, Irma, Alta (Lloyminster Midget AA)
• Kelly Foley, F, Boston (Tabor Academy)
• Jenna Hobeika, F, Alpine, N.J. (Hotchkiss)
• Geneva Kliman, D, Toronto (National Women's Hockey League)
• Brittany Mills, F, Winchester, Mass. (The Rivers School)
• Moira Scanlon, D, Chicago (North American Hockey Academy)

Green Alert Take: Wonder when we're going to see a few recruits from the North American Football Academy. Nah.
