In honor of the first 50 years of Ivy League football, Jack DeGange, the former Dartmouth sports information director and unofficial historian of Big Green athletics, organized a committee that selected the Dartmouth team of the first 50 years of Ivy League football. This was first posted on Big Green Alert Premium in its initial year of 2005. I thought to repost it here given the number of new BGA Daily readers who wouldn't have seen it when it first appeared.
As happens, web pages float off into the ether at some point and unfortunately the pages recognizing that 50-Year team are no longer available. I did, however, save screen shots of those pages and after all manner of geeky maneuvering, the offense is presented below. I only wish it could be clearer, but this is the best I can do.
The 50-Year Defense will appear here tomorrow.
Enjoy.

With the XFL kicking off over the weekend, former Dartmouth defensive end Niko Lalos '20 was in action with the Seattle Sea Dragons. In his first game action in a couple of years, Lalos was involved in three tackles, was credited with half a sack and broke up a pass at the line in Seattle's 22-18 loss at the DC Commanders.
A good friend and charter subscriber to BGA who stuck with the game on TV sent along this screenshot from after Lalos' batted down pass.

EXTRA POINT
When That Certain Dartmouth '14 was running for student body president, part of her platform was to create some kind of fundraiser that would bring the student body together. The model might be THON, the Penn State 46-hour dance marathon that since its inception has raised more than $200 million to fight childhood cancer. It wrapped up yesterday with a record total of more than $15 million in donations over the past year:
