That all changed with cutback in recruiting numbers accompanied by the start of freshman eligibility ahead of the 1993 season. As an aside, I still remember then-head coach John Lyons telling me at the time that Adam Nelson, who would go on to win a gold medal in the Olympic shot put, was his early favorite to become the first freshman to play for Dartmouth because of his ability to long snap. I don't think it worked out that way but it makes for a good story ;-)
All that said, here's the schedule for Dartmouth's 12 days of spring football now allowed:
