Wilson, Egeolu Honored

Dartmouth strong safety Ian Wilson and freshman defensive lineman Royce Egeolu have been named to the Ivy League honor roll for their play in Saturday's loss to Yale.

Wilson, a fifth-year senior, had 13 tackles against the Bulldogs, including seven solos. He had one stop for a loss. Egeolu, a freshman, had four solos among his seven tackles, including two for a loss.

The Yale Daily News now has its game story up from Saturday. The story says Yale ...

" ...dominated Dartmouth (0-4, 0-2) in every facet of the game to win their first league game of the season and to put a damper on the Big Green’s homecoming weekend, 34-7."

For what it's worth, Homecoming will be this weekend when Holy Cross comes to town.

Speaking of which, the Holy Cross notes are now up. Find a PDF here. ... Holy Cross quarterback Dominic Randolph has been selected the national offensive player of the week by The Sports Network. ... Randolph, by the way, is a candidate for the Payton Award, emblematic of the top offensive player in the FCS. Find the Holy Cross fact sheet on the quarterback here.

Holy Cross is in the headlines for a troubling incident that happened Saturday night. From the Worcester Telegram:

A College of the Holy Cross football player is accused of attacking his teammate yesterday morning inside a City View Street three-decker where members of the team were celebrating their Saturday win over Brown University. But the Holy Cross football coach said yesterday the charge is not true. Michael McCabe, a 6-foot-5, 300-pound offensive lineman from Watertown, Conn., allegedly attacked teammate Luke Chmielinski leaving the wide receiver bleeding from the back and chest sometime before 2 a.m. yesterday, police said.

More from the story:

Coach (Tom) Gilmore said he has spoken to both players, whom he described as best friends and roommates. Both players are listed as sophomores on the team roster.

Chmielinski is second on the Holy Cross team in receiving yards per game (41.2) and third in catches (19). He grabbed six passes and had one run in Saturday's game against Brown.

The Daily Dartmouth has a story about the rebirth of Beta. From The D:

"Beta president Andrew von Kuhn ‘09 said his goal is to create an organization for members from all different organizations, clubs and activities."

Von Kuhn is a former wide receiver for Dartmouth who is serving as a manager/student-coach this fall after his career was cut short by injury. Quoted in the story are junior safety Tony Pastoors and sophomore linebacker Matt Oh.

Missed this yesterday but one of the, ahem, several lawyers who visits this electronic precinct sent along a note about a story in The Daily Dartmouth about former Big Green player Greg Garre '87 being sworn in as the U.S. Solicitor General. From The D:

While at Dartmouth, Garre was a government major and secretary of Beta Theta Pi fraternity. After playing football for Dartmouth during his first two years, he quit the team to “focus on other things.”
