Each school will honor one distinguished alum, with Dartmouth celebrating Dr. Kenneth DeHaven '61. From the Green Line Dartmouth football newsletter:
DeHaven is the past president of the American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine, the Arthroscopy Association of North America, the International Society of the Knee (a parent society to ISAKOS) and the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons.
DeHaven was the starting center for two years on the football team, earning All-Ivy and All-New England first-team honors from the Associated Press as the captain in 1960. His most famous play on the gridiron came during his junior campaign when he blocked a short field goal attempt in the fourth quarter against Brown to preserve a scoreless tie.
Beginning in 1972, Dr. DeHaven was one of the first to utilize arthroscopy in an Orthopaedic Sports Medicine practice.The IFA dinner is held every two years. After the last dinner, Bloomerg News ran a STORY about the event that began this way:
Shoulders rubbed at the Ivy Football Association Dinner. That’s what happens when 1,200 alumni of Ivy League football gather for a reunion.
“It’s quite an amazing thing that happens when people kind of bang heads for a number of years but also have brains,” said Michael O’Flynn, who played defensive end at Dartmouth, where former Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson also played. “It teaches you to get up after being knocked down. It teaches you to do things you never dreamed of doing.”Bloomerg included this video with its story:
