Many of Dartmouth’s student-athletes would attest that after college, full-time athletics is usually not a possible career option. Seldom do significant numbers of student-athletes on Big Green teams move on to professional sports teams for extended periods of time, especially not when compared with athletes from UCLA, Florida or Oklahoma.

Tiger Woods is the best golfer in the world today, and one of the most driven and naturally competitive athletes of all time. But he’s just not quite the master of his craft that Roger Federer is.

Being asked to pick between Tiger Woods and Roger Federer is akin to picking between KFC and Taco Bell — you can’t go wrong. That being said, when debating the world’s most dominant athlete, it’s Tiger by a few strokes.

It may be hard to believe with the snow on the ground, but it’s springtime in Hanover. Every year during this season, one of our nation’s oldest sporting traditions is renewed. All over the county, people gather together to hit balls with sticks. These players are split up into two main categories: players who throw and players who hit. The players who hit also play positions in the field. These fielding positions can have funny nicknames, like “the hot corner” (third base) and “the place where they put the kid that can’t throw” (right field). More »
